The image displays a sunlit urban square, identified as Place du 9 Avril 1947 (Grand Socco), in Tangier, Morocco. The scene is illuminated by direct sunlight, casting long, distinct shadows and producing a prominent diagonal lens flare across the upper left portion of the frame. The sky is bright blue with scattered wispy white clouds. The foreground and midground of the square are paved with concrete, upon which an estimated 70-100 pigeons are scattered. These pigeons, primarily grey with some variations in plumage, are observed standing, walking, and pecking at the ground. Their individual shadows are elongated due to the low angle of the sun. To the right, a multi-tiered concrete staircase descends into the plaza, while a low concrete barrier or planter wall delineates the left side of the foreground. In the background, two multi-story buildings line the square. The building on the left is primarily white with dark-framed windows and balconies. The building on the right is more ornate, featuring white facades with yellow-gold decorative trim, multiple balconies, and arched windows. Several ornate black streetlights are visible, some freestanding and others affixed to the building facades. A large, tall coniferous tree stands prominently on the left, partially obscuring the building behind it. Several smaller palm trees are interspersed across the midground. Few human subjects are present. One individual sits on the upper steps on the right side of the staircase. Another person is partially visible near the base of the left background building. A third, distant figure can be seen on the far right side of the plaza. No direct interactions between humans and pigeons are discernible. The overall environment presents a common public gathering space on a bright day.
