Very tall, old trees by the foot of a mountain, viewed from the ground up. Fog is covering the surrounding trees and the mountain behind them.

"5. Remember professional ethics.
5. Remember professional ethics. When political leaders set a negative example, professional commitments to just practice become more important. It is hard to subvert a rule-of-law state without lawyers, or to hold show trials without judges. Authoritarians need obedient civil servants, and concentration camp directors seek businessmen interested in cheap labor. #OnTyranny

This is a black-and-white photograph created using the lith print technique in a darkroom. The image has a characteristic high-contrast and grainy texture, with deep blacks and soft highlights, typical of this alternative photographic process. The scene depicts an old, weathered urban street with aged buildings that show signs of wear and decay. On the right, there is a corner of a historic-looking building with intricate detailing and a protruding bay window. The background features additional old structures, some with cracked walls and peeling plaster. A large puddle in the foreground reflects the surrounding buildings, trees, and sky, adding depth and symmetry to the composition. The reflection creates an almost surreal effect, making the ground appear as a second sky. In the middle of the street, a woman is pushing a baby stroller, adding a human element to the scene. The mood of the image is nostalgic and atmospheric, enhanced by the lith print technique, which gives it a timeless and slightly eerie quality.
