This night-time image depicts a street scene in Al-Kiswa, Syria, on 18/10/2025 at 21:33. The foreground shows the backs of several individuals, including a person holding a small child with dark, curly hair, and two adult males wearing dark suit jackets. These individuals are observing an event in the mid-ground. In the mid-ground, a crowd of people is gathered along a street. Two prominent blue, triangular flags with gold fringes are held aloft. A partial red flag is visible behind the right blue flag. Multiple bright yellow-orange flames, indicative of torches or similar illuminated devices, are visible among the crowd, casting light on the surrounding area. A dark vehicle, possibly a truck or float, is partially visible beneath the flags and flames. Individuals in the mid-ground appear to be participating in a procession or gathering, with some wearing what may be traditional attire. The background includes green foliage and dimly lit buildings. The sky is dark. The ground appears to be a paved street.
