A tall, cylindrical copper-coloured pole rises diagonally against a pale blue sky, its shaft wrapped in twisted rope-like ridges and topped with an ornate, carved wooden or metal crown-like fixture with red accents and a small green plant. Thin wires run down from the top. A dark corrugated roof edge and a warm lamp fixture appear at the left edge. No people are visible; the pole looks like a flagstaff or ritual pillar viewed from below at dusk.
