The scene depicts a large, smoldering bonfire situated in an open area within Macedo de Cavaleiros, Portugal. The bonfire is primarily composed of a massive, uprooted tree stump, its extensive root system, and several large cut logs, actively emitting white smoke from its upper and central sections. To the immediate left of the bonfire, a group of approximately 10 to 15 adults, dressed in dark winter clothing, stand observing the fire. One individual within this group appears to wear a clerical collar. The ground surrounding the bonfire consists of disturbed earth mixed with wood debris, small branches, and dried leaves. In the background, two residential-style buildings with light-colored stucco facades and prominent reddish-brown tiled roofs are visible. The building on the left exhibits a gabled roof and a single visible window. The building on the right has a similar roofline, and a white compact vehicle is parked on a paved surface nearby. The sky above is partly cloudy with visible blue sections.
