This image depicts a brightly illuminated outdoor plaza in Al-Qutaifa, Syria, at night. The central subject is a large, ornate, conical-frustum-shaped decorative structure composed of numerous light-colored vertical rods, adorned with light-colored garlands resembling dried foliage or floral arrangements. This structure casts a distinct shadow on the paved ground, which exhibits reflections consistent with ambient light or a wet surface. In the mid-ground and background, numerous tall, blue flagpoles are arranged in rows, displaying a variety of international flags. Identifiable flags include that of Germany (black, red, and yellow horizontal stripes); other flags with diverse national designs are also visible. Beyond the flagpoles, modern buildings with illuminated facades can be observed. The scene is dominated by artificial lighting, with a prominent blue hue emanating from the flagpoles. No individuals or specific activities are discernible within the frame.
