Description

A woman walks down a set of brick steps in a narrow alleyway flanked by two rough concrete walls. The alley is bathed in warm, golden sunlight. The woman is wearing a t-shirt and jeans, her long hair flowing behind her. She is mid-stride, her body slightly angled as she descends the steps. Her shadow stretches across the wall beside her. The brick steps lead to a lower level, and the walls rise up on either side. The walls are a light brown-yellow color, with a coarse, uneven texture. Some graffiti is seen on the wall. The bricks on the steps are arranged in a herringbone pattern.
