A long concrete road bridge crosses a shallow river with green algae on the water. Its piers stand in the water and their reflections are visible. Several buses, a truck and cars are queued on the deck, with a white truck carrying an orange flag near the centre. Palm trees and roadside trees line the far bank under a hazy sky, and a tall lattice telecom tower rises in the background. Three or four people wade in the shallows at the lower right, partly obscured by the piers.
