The image captures a daytime urban street scene in Sarouja Municipality, Damascus, Syria. A young male subject, appearing to be in his late teens or early twenties, stands centered in the foreground, directly in front of a gray GMC SUV. The subject wears a light-colored short-sleeved t-shirt, dark trousers, gray athletic shoes, and sunglasses. He has a black backpack and multiple bracelets on his left wrist. His right hand holds a lit cigarette between his index and middle fingers, raised towards his mouth. His left hand is forming a gesture with the thumb and pinky finger extended and the middle two fingers curled. The gray GMC SUV, with a prominent chrome grille and front bumper, is parked on an asphalt street that shows minor debris and stains. In the background, under a clear blue sky, a large, multi-story, light-colored building with numerous windows is visible; Arabic script on its facade identifies it as the Central Bank of Syria. A flag is flying from the upper section of this building. To the left and right, other multi-story urban buildings with balconies line the street. Several additional vehicles are parked further down the street in the mid-ground. Blurred figures of two pedestrians are visible walking on the sidewalk to the far left.
