  • The image features a sign marking the entrance to the Virunga National Park. The sign displays the park's name in both French and English, showcasing the emblem of the park, which includes an illustration of a gorilla.

The overall atmosphere suggests an area of natural beauty and wildlife conservation. DR Congo. Virunga Park, a Century of Green Colonialism and Armed Rebellions Colette Braeckman · August 2025
  • The image depicts a rural landscape characterized by dry, barren land. There are patches of brown grass and sparse vegetation, indicating an arid environment. In the foreground, a small structure with a white roof sits alongside a dirt path. In the background, a few more buildings can be seen, scattered amidst the landscape. The atmosphere appears hazy, possibly due to dust or smoke, giving the scene a muted and subdued appearance. Sparse trees dot the area, and the overall setting suggests a remote, pastoral region.

  • The image depicts a flooded area, with individuals wading through water that has inundated the surroundings. The water reaches knee-deep, affecting homes and structures in the background, which appear to be partially submerged. People in the scene are carrying various items, suggesting they're either evacuating or salvaging belongings. Trees and greenery can be seen around the area, indicating that it is a rural or semi-urban environment. The sky is overcast, contributing to the somber atmosphere of the flooding situation.

  • The image depicts a quiet, sandy street at sunset, where the golden light of the sun is visible on the horizon. On one side, there are simple, earth-toned walls of buildings, casting long shadows in the warm light. A few individuals are scattered along the street, with one person sitting and another standing near a donkey. The atmosphere suggests a peaceful, rural environment, with minimal traffic and a sense of tranquility as day transitions to night. A Disappointing Future for Arlit Marco Simoncelli · October 2024
