Description
A group of demonstrators stands on a street during a protest. In the foreground, a person is bending down near several life-sized effigies arranged on the pavement, some of which are dressed in patterned clothing. Another person stands nearby holding a cigarette or match, possibly preparing to ignite the effigies. Several members of the media are present in the background, including individuals with video cameras and microphones. A bicycle wheel is partially visible on the left edge of the image. The setting is a residential area with houses and a multi-story parking garage in the background. The lighting suggests it is midday.
