The image is a black and white photograph of a young man standing on a sidewalk. He is holding a sign that reads "FREE HUG" in bold letters. The man is wearing a sweater and glasses and has a backpack slung over his shoulder. He appears to be smiling and gesturing with his left hand as if he is explaining something. In the background, there is a building and a tree. The image appears to have been taken at a train station.
