The image is a black and white photograph of a group of men standing on a beach, looking at a large explosion. The explosion appears to be taking place on the right side of the image, with a large plume of black smoke rising up into the sky. In the background, there is a large building with a dome-shaped roof and a clock tower. The sky is cloudy and the ground is wet, suggesting that it has recently rained. The men are standing in a line, facing the explosion, and one of them is holding a camera, presumably to capture the moment.
