The black and white photo is rectangular in shape. The left hand side is lined with large columns connected with arches along the top, this is the outside of the Great Mosque. On the right side of the picture is a building with men standing on a balcony that has cement up to their mid-chest level and they are resting their arms on it as they look down at the street below. The street is flooded with many people standing around a car that is almost submerged under water.
