Caption: Colvin Ave. viewed from corner of 99th Street.

A wide grassy lot occupies the foreground, leading to a suburban street lined with utility poles and trees. A line of evenly spaced metal fence posts runs parallel to the road, with no fencing yet attached. A few cars drive along the street, and residential houses with pitched roofs and well-kept yards are visible in the background. The sky is overcast, giving the scene a muted tone.
