The image is a black and white photograph of a narrow alleyway. The alleyway is made of cobblestones and is lined with old, dilapidated buildings on both sides. The buildings appear to be in a state of disrepair, with peeling paint and crumbling walls. There is a street lamp hanging from the side of one of the buildings, casting a shadow on the ground. The overall mood of the image is gloomy and abandoned.
