The image shows a red brick wall of an urban building. The wall stretches across the frame with the sky visible at the top. Shadows of slender trees and utility poles are cast on the red wall. The color palette is dominated by red with deep shadows. The sidewalk below shows scattered litter. The strong colors and stark shadows highlight the texture and pattern of the brick wall.
