A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph depicts a dense urban skyline from an elevated perspective. In the foreground, a long rectangular rooftop with a wet, reflective surface spans the view. Masonry buildings with repetitive windows fill the middle ground, leading to several tall skyscrapers in the distance. A tiered building stands at the center while a wide, gridded tower rises on the right against a pale, overcast sky.
