Description
A paved suburban street curves into the distance, bordered on one side by utility poles and grass, and on the other by a tall chain-link fence. A person is seen walking close to the fence, reaching toward it. Behind the fence, there is a well-kept residential yard with a white house and trees. The lighting has a reddish hue, possibly due to the photographic film or processing.
