Description
A quiet residential street borders a large fenced-in grassy area. Across the fence, several single-story houses are visible, many with windows and doors boarded up. Some houses are painted in pastel tones such as blue and white. Trees line the sidewalk on the right, and utility poles with overhead wires run through the scene. The atmosphere appears calm and somewhat deserted.
