The image is a black and white photograph of a busy street scene. The street is lined with buildings on both sides and there is a white van parked on the left side of the road. On the right side, there are three men standing on the sidewalk, one of them is holding a large piece of wood and the other two are looking at it. They appear to be working on a construction site. There is a traffic light and a street sign visible in the background. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is somber.
