A nocturnal image captures a dense outdoor gathering of numerous individuals, predominantly male adults, in Ad Duwayr, Syria. The scene is illuminated by artificial light sources, one of which causes significant lens flare in the upper left, against a dark sky. In the mid-ground, several tall palm trees are visible, with indistinct building structures beyond them. The crowd is packed closely, with many individuals raising their hands. Visible in the center-left mid-ground, one person is hoisted onto the shoulders of another. Multiple flags are displayed throughout the crowd; several are the green, white, and black flag with three red stars, commonly associated with the Syrian opposition. On the right side, a white flag featuring black Arabic script and an emblem is visible. In the immediate foreground, the back of an individual wearing a grey baseball cap with a black patch depicting a bird silhouette and the word "FREEDOM" is prominent. Another individual holds a smartphone, its screen illuminated, above their head. The collective actions suggest a demonstration or large public rally.
