This daylight image, captured in an urban area of Homs, Syria, depicts a group of individuals in an open space adjacent to residential buildings. In the foreground, a cluster of at least seven adult males and one young child is visible, primarily from behind or in profile, appearing to be conversing or gathered. One adult male on the far left wears a black jacket, an olive green baseball cap, and a tan tactical belt with multiple pouches, and has a rifle slung across his back. The child, centrally positioned among the adults, wears a black hooded jacket with distinctive ear-like features on the hood. The ground immediately beneath the subjects transitions from a paved surface to a rougher terrain with dirt and scattered debris. In the midground, a tall, dark utility pole stands amidst several trees, some bare and others retaining foliage. The background is dominated by multiple concrete multi-story apartment buildings, many featuring balconies, which show signs of weathering and potential structural damage. The sky overhead is bright and clear.
