An old bus is repurposed into a shelter, partially covered by a makeshift awning. It is parked under the shade of trees, with branches and leaves surrounding it. A small path of stone tiles leads to the entrance, while a detached green hanging tire can be seen nearby. The ground around is dry and sandy, suggesting a rustic or possibly rural setting.
