The image depicts a narrow, cobblestone alley within the medina of Essaouira, Morocco, bordered by two whitewashed buildings under an overcast sky. The building on the left features a dark, intricately carved wooden overhang with a scalloped edge. Below this, the white wall displays various terracotta pots holding green plants, some suspended, others placed on ledges. A large, dark wooden door with an arched top is partially visible on the far left. A blue-framed rectangular opening and a long, dark blue planter box containing lush green foliage line the lower portion of this wall. Further down the alley on the left, a second, less ornate street lamp is visible. The building on the right side of the alley also has whitewashed walls, punctuated by windows fitted with blue shutters, some open, some closed. A decorative black wrought-iron street lamp with a globe fixture projects from this wall. Lower on the wall are two red-framed rectangular openings. A blue wooden panel, possibly a shutter, leans against the wall. A small white utility box with a circular, flower-like ventilation pattern is affixed to the lower right wall. The base of this building has an exposed, rough-textured stone or concrete finish. The reddish-brown cobblestone pavement extends the length of the alley, with some light blue markings in the midground. Overhead, numerous electrical wires crisscross between the buildings. A small red rectangular flag or banner hangs suspended further down the alley. Two adult males are standing in the center of the alley, approximately two-thirds into the visible depth. The male on the left wears a dark jacket and blue jeans, holding an open book or tablet. The male on the right, in a dark hooded jacket and blue jeans, holds a smaller object, possibly a phone, and faces the first man. Both appear engaged with the items they hold. Bags are visible on the ground near their feet. Further in the background, other indistinct figures and structures are visible, including what appears to be a round blue and white sign on a distant building facade. A seated figure is partially obscured by the planter box on the left.
