A thin horizontal strip of light reveals part of a white car and a storefront with people passing by. The car and storefront suggest a city street scene, while the human figures depict pedestrians engaged in everyday activities.

This is a photograph of a scene viewed through a steamed-up window. The image shows streaks of condensation trickling down a glass surface. Behind the condensation, shapes and colors are blurred, suggesting a busy, urban setting. The blurred outline of a figure and a yellow vehicle can be discerned in the background. The words on the glass are partially legible in reverse.
