This nighttime image captures an open paved area within the historic Kauman district of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The scene is illuminated primarily by two tall, black lampposts with bright, operational lamps positioned in the foreground and mid-ground. Approximately seven to eight adult males are present, mostly wearing traditional attire including sarongs and peci caps. In the center-right foreground, one male is holding a smartphone vertically, appearing to photograph or record. Other individuals are standing in small groups or individually throughout the mid-ground. To the left, a weathered multi-story building with an arched window and a tiled roof is visible. In the background, well-lit ornate brick walls and a traditional Javanese split gate structure, characteristic of a palace or religious compound entrance, stand prominently. The ground is paved with dark, rectangular blocks laid in a herringbone pattern. Sparse foliage from trees is visible in the upper left corner and along the right edge of the frame.
