The image is a black and white photograph of a busy street scene. It shows a group of people crossing the street in front of a building under construction. The building appears to be a high-rise building with scaffolding around it. There are several people walking on the sidewalk, some of them carrying bags, while others are walking away from the camera. The street is lined with trees and there is a traffic light on the right side of the image. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the photograph is somber.
