The picture shows a crowd in the streets of a big city. There are big buildings in the background and on the sides of the picture. In the foreground, there’s a large protest sign on the ground written in a language that I don’t understand. It looks like German or Dutch. There are also flags and smaller protest signs among the crowd. Â
Most of the people in the picture are young, they must be 30 years old more or less, and they seem to be protesting about a serious issue, like climate change or politics. It is a peaceful demonstration. I can also see a blonde girl next to the protest sign, who looks like a journalist. Yes, she must be a journalist because she’s got a microphone and is speaking to a camera.
I think they are commited people who are complaining about an important matter in today’s society. If it’s a peaceful demonstration, I like it because that’s the way we should protest.Â
