Here is a description of the image:

The image is a vintage, negative photograph of a small town or rural scene. The central focus is a large, white water tower, towering above the surrounding buildings and a roadway. The tower is a rounded tank supported by a steel lattice structure. The image is a negative, so the light elements appear white, and the sky and other darker objects are black.

In the foreground, there is a row of houses or buildings, also rendered in white. Some trees with full foliage line the edges of the road. In the middle ground, there are other buildings and structures. There is a car driving on the road. The sky fills most of the top portion of the image, appears dark and somewhat grainy. Overall, it has a vintage feel, suggesting a bygone era.

The image is a negative photograph of a small town street scene. In the left center of the frame is a water tower standing next to a two story house. A street runs from the lower right corner into the center of the frame, and then left past the water tower. A sedan is parked on the street in front of a long low building with flag poles. A large tree is in the lower right corner.
