A tall traffic pole with traffic lights and signs is in the foreground. In the background, there is a traffic circle with a monument on the left and a statue of a winged figure on the right. Behind them are low buildings with a taller building on the right. The image is in black and white, emphasizing the contrasts and textures. Diagonal lines from shadows and architectural elements guide the viewer's eye through the scene.
