  • The image depicts a food stall featuring a large kebab or shawarma that's roasting on a vertical spit. The meat is visibly browning as it cooks, and there are flames underneath. The stall is covered by colorful umbrellas providing shade. In the foreground, a man stands behind the counter, likely the vendor, appearing to interact with customers or prepare food. The stall also displays menu items on signs, emphasizing its offerings. The atmosphere looks lively, typical of a street food setting. Egypt: The Shawarma Dispute Dalia Chams · April 2024
  • The image depicts a nighttime scene at a historic location, likely a temple or ancient site, characterized by large stone structures. Towering columns line the pathway, illuminated by soft red and amber lighting, which casts dramatic shadows on the walls. Two imposing statues, possibly representing pharaohs or deities, stand prominently at the end of the corridor. Visitors can be seen walking through the area, taking in the majestic architecture and ambiance of this ancient site. The atmosphere conveys a sense of history and reverence.

  • The image depicts a narrow street lined with older buildings, showcasing a blend of urban decay and lively activity. There's a mixture of people, some walking on the street and others gathered in small groups. The buildings have seen better days, with peeling paint and signs of wear. A small, weathered structure with a distinctive roof stands out against the backdrop of larger, more modern buildings. Utility wires crisscross overhead, and there's a hint of greenery from nearby trees. The scene reflects a vibrant yet gritty neighborhood atmosphere. Beirut. Walking Through Dilapidated Khandaq Al-Ghamiq Sandra Rishani · September 2021
