A horizontally oriented black and white photograph depicts two monumental pylons with carved winged figures looming over a gabled house. A spindly, bare tree branches upward in the center foreground, its silhouette overlapping a concrete bridge railing. Overgrown grass and a picket fence fill the shadowed foreground. Strong sunlight from the right creates sharp contrasts and deep blacks, emphasizing the vertical stone pillars against the rectangular shapes and simple textures of the home.
