The image depicts a dense nighttime gathering of individuals at the base of the Clock Tower in Al-Saa Square, Homs, Syria. The prominent, illuminated stone or concrete tower dominates the left side of the frame, displaying vertical light strips and arched, gridded windows at its lower section. A significant number of participants, primarily young to middle-aged males, are standing on the tower's base and lower tiers, with some individuals positioned higher on its initial structure. The crowd extends across the foreground and middle ground, including women, some wearing headscarves, and children. Numerous flags are visible, notably white flags bearing black Arabic calligraphy and flags with horizontal green, white, and black stripes centered with three red stars. Many individuals are holding mobile phones aloft, with several phone flashlights activated, contributing to the artificial illumination from the tower's lights and a modern streetlight visible on the right. Dark trees and indistinct urban structures are present in the background under a dark sky.
