The image shows a yellow house wall with a window on the left side and a classic street lamp on the right. The sun is low, casting a sharp shadow of the street lamp onto the wall. The lower part of the wall features red bricks. The scene is bathed in warm, golden sunlight, creating long shadows and a calm atmosphere.
