A nighttime street scene in Arequipa, Peru, captures a procession

A nighttime street scene in Arequipa, Peru, captures a procession. In the foreground, a person, visible only from the lower legs and dark footwear, carries a large, vertical, rectangular banner centered on the asphalt street. The banner is predominantly black with extensive gold and red ornate designs, featuring a crown-like element at the top, a central crest, and partially legible text that includes "PRESIDENCIA 2023" and "VOLUNTARIOS... DE PARADA." The carrier casts a distinct shadow extending forward on the cracked pavement, which also shows faint white lane markings. To the left, a crowd of spectators lines the street, observing the procession. Further down the street on the right, a line of other participants, dressed in dark and gold costumes, are marching. The street is illuminated by several overhead streetlights, casting bright, circular glows. Green foliage from trees is visible along both sides of the street, with a cluster on the right strongly illuminated. A set of red traffic lights is visible in the distance on the right side of the street, and overhead utility wires traverse the dark sky.
