The image captures an outdoor nighttime scene in a public square or plaza within Arica, Chile. In the foreground and midground, approximately ten individuals, primarily women, are engaged in a performance or procession. They wear elaborate, full-length gowns with wide, flowing skirts in colors including deep maroon, various shades of blue (one with a reflective, possibly sequined, pattern), black, white, and gold accents. Several performers wear matching head coverings or veils. Their postures indicate active movement, consistent with dancing or parading, with skirts fanned out, casting distinct shadows on the reddish-brown tiled ground. To the left-midground, an ornate, gold-toned structure, possibly a processional float or a decorated canopy, stands illuminated, suggesting internal lighting or external spotlights. In the background, a crowd of approximately 20-30 spectators stands or sits on raised steps, observing the event. This group includes individuals in casual attire, along with others wearing traditional blue capes and hats. One individual in the crowd holds a mobile phone, possibly recording. A red Coca-Cola branded umbrella is partially visible on the far left. The environment is illuminated by multiple tall, white streetlights. A prominent, tall palm tree with visible fronds is situated on the right side of the image. Surrounding the plaza are multi-story buildings, predominantly white and light blue, featuring windows. Overhead utility lines are present against the dark night sky.
