Looking up at a clear pale blue sky, a single saffron-orange cloth flag hangs from a thin rope beside a tall copper-coloured pole banded with ornate raised rings. At the left edge, part of a dark metal scaffold frame is visible. Small bits of petals or debris drift down through the air below the flag. No people are clearly visible; only a partial face edge appears at the far left, near the scaffold.
