A black and white photograph capturing a candid moment among a group of young boys on a sunny day. One boy in the foreground is walking towards the camera, slightly blurred, suggesting movement. Behind him, another boy is seated on a bicycle, while two others stand beside the bike, one of whom is adjusting something on it. In the background, another boy leans against a wall, partially obscured by the group with the bicycle. The setting appears to be an outdoor area with a concrete ground and a plain wall, giving the impression of a casual, urban environment where the children are enjoying their leisure time.
