Description

This urban image captures a group crossing a street in front of a weathered, brick building. The building, identified by a sign reading 'The Montague Arms' and 'Bottled Beers,' appears to be boarded up and possibly abandoned, with graffiti on the boards. A woman with three children are seen on the cross walk with trees and other buildings in the background. The building's brick facade shows signs of age and disrepair. The photograph features natural daylight with a warm color grade. The street scene includes a traffic sign and typical road markings, setting a mundane counterpoint to the building's decay. The image composition is straight on, and shows the building as the primary subject.
