Description
An effigy burns in the foreground on a street with bright orange flames. In the background, a group of people gathers closely, some holding protest signs and others equipped with professional video cameras and microphones. Several media personnel film and document the event, while a white motorcycle is parked to the right. The crowd appears to be part of an organized demonstration, set in a green, tree-lined public area.
