The image displays a nighttime procession or gathering on Al-Arman Street in Homs, Syria. The location is identifiable by a prominent yellow circular "Tally" sign and yellow and black balloons near a multi-story building in the background. A large crowd of individuals, primarily adult males, occupies the street. Many participants wear traditional attire, including dark vests over shirts, loose trousers, and white or light blue head coverings (turbans or skullcaps). Multiple individuals are holding aloft lit torches, which emit visible flames and smoke. Two large, light-colored banners, featuring dark Arabic script, are held vertically by poles within the crowd. A dark, rectangular speaker box is positioned on the left side of the scene. The background building features a brightly illuminated ground-floor commercial storefront and exposed air conditioning units on an upper level. Palm trees are visible against the dark sky. The scene is illuminated by various artificial lights, including streetlights, building lights, the glow of the torches, and a distinct blue light source that bathes a section of the participants. One individual is visible observing from a building balcony, and several people within the crowd are actively recording the event with smartphones.
