This image depicts a nighttime scene in Al-Kiswa, Syria, captured on 18/10/2025 at 21:38. In the immediate foreground, a man with a prominent white beard, fair hair, and glasses is visible, wearing a dark garment adorned with intricate gold embroidery and a light-colored, possibly straw, hat or head covering. His mouth is open, suggesting speech or song, and his right arm is blurred, indicating motion. To his left, the partial view of at least two other individuals is present, one wearing a striped vest or garment with brown and light-colored horizontal stripes. In the midground, a second man stands atop a white vehicle, possibly a van or bus, wearing a white t-shirt and dark trousers. He holds a black smartphone horizontally with both hands, apparently recording or photographing the event. The background is dark, consistent with night, with minimal environmental details visible beyond faint reflections and a small portion of green foliage in the upper right.
