A cell phone, likely a smartphone, is mounted on a selfie stick, extending upwards against a clear, gradient blue sky. The sky is lighter blue towards the bottom, transitioning to a darker, deeper blue at the top. The phone is held in a light pink or purple holder, and the stick itself is dark. The sun appears to be hitting the phone and holder from the side, creating a slight glint and highlighting their form against the smooth background of the sky.

A high-angle, medium shot photograph captures a large crowd of people marching down a city street. The crowd is dense, and many individuals are holding up signs, some of which are partially visible. A bridge or overpass crosses the street overhead, with a line of police officers standing on it, observing the crowd. Street signs for "4th St" are visible at an intersection. The overall scene suggests a protest or demonstration.

A medium shot photograph of two people sitting at a table in a dimly lit room, silhouetted against a bright window. The room has a high ceiling with exposed beams and a dark, industrial aesthetic. The two people are seated facing each other, engaged in conversation or working on something at the table. They appear to be indoors, possibly in a cafe or workspace, with large windows providing a stark contrast between the dark interior and the bright outside light. The image emphasizes the silhouettes of the people and the architectural details of the room.

They appear to be walking in a line on a paved surface, possibly a sidewalk or courtyard, with a few adults visible in the background. The scene is brightly lit, suggesting daylight. The children’s clothing and the outdoor setting imply a casual, possibly school or outing-related context.
