A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph depicts four men with light, medium-light, and dark skin tones walking across wet pavement toward our right. The scene is viewed through a blurred chain-link fence. On our left, a car with an open door sits parked. On our right, a tall brick guard tower stands near a white fence. Reflections of the walking figures shimmer in puddles on the ground.
