A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph depicts a high-vantage view over a city. Hundreds of gabled houses crowd together across rolling hills, filling the lower two-thirds of the frame. Sharp sunlight from the left creates a high-contrast pattern of white facades and deep black shadows. In the distance, a skyline of skyscrapers and tall office buildings rises against a pale sky and far-off hills.
