This image depicts a cityscape with several buildings seen under soft daylight or dusk conditions. The structures are primarily old-style apartment buildings or commercial buildings, featuring multiple rectangular windows. The focus is blurry, giving the image a muted or vintage feel. A notable visual element is the large shadow projected onto the leftmost building, likely cast by an adjacent structure. In the background, smaller buildings and rooftops, including water towers, are visible, adding to the urban aesthetic. The sky above is empty and pale, with no discernible clouds. The framing and faint scratches suggest it may be a photograph preserved in an older medium.

In the foreground, there is a prominent multi-story building with several windows and a distinct architectural style. The building appears to have a somewhat industrial or institutional look, with visible chimneys and a water tank on the roof.
