This is a photograph of a street on a rainy day. The scene captures a wet street with glistening surfaces. The perspective looks down the street, showing rows of buildings on either side. The street is empty except for a lone potted plant sitting on the curb near the pavement. The image is in black and white. The composition introduces strong lines through the converging buildings and street, leading the eye into the distance where a larger building stands at the end of the street.
