This is a photograph of a wet city street. Buildings line the street, with trees on either side. Rain is pouring down heavily, creating puddles on the street. In the middle of the street, someone is doing a cartwheel. The buildings show signs of aging architecture. Bicycles are parked under overhangs. People are taking shelter from the rain. The street stretches into the distance, bordered by tall trees.
