Two people stand together on a sandy riverbank, posing for a photo near the water’s edge. A man is wearing white clothing with a patterned shawl draped around his shoulders, while a woman is wearing a bright orange shawl over a light-coloured outfit. The river and a long walkway or bridge are visible in the background, with a hazy sky above and a few distant people near the shoreline.
