A photograph taken from a balcony of a yellow-walled building overlooking a street in a town below a rocky hill. A black sedan is parked on the road, a man on a motorbike rides past, and a few pedestrians walk along the street. Shopfronts with blue and green shutters line the road, with tangled overhead electric wires and a white satellite dish on a pole. A metal grille window with ornate scrollwork is at left, and a bare balcony railing with a blue frame runs across the foreground. No ritual, deity or a person depiction is visible.
