The image is captured from a low to mid-eye level perspective. The horizon is not visible. The focus is on close wooden buildings and their details. The buildings have a rustic appearance with wooden sidings and a red brick chimney. The tones are monochromatic. Defined plants are seen growing at the base of the buildings. The wooden structures show signs of weathering with visible grain and knots. The sky above contrasts with the structure below.
