Description
Caption: 99th Street
A metal lattice boom crane is positioned behind a one-story house in a snowy residential area. The house in the foreground has its front window and door boarded up and a sign reading "Danger Keep Out" is visible next to the door. A smaller house is partially visible on the left. Overhead utility wires run across the scene, and snow blankets the roofs, ground, and street. The sky is overcast with a faint purple and pink hue.
