The photograph shows the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in Berlin, set against a bright blue sky with scattered clouds. The foreground is dominated by rows and rows of tall, rectangular concrete slabs of varying heights, creating a maze-like effect. The slabs have a textured, slightly rough surface. In the midground, glimpses of buildings with red-tiled roofs can be seen, and a couple of tall, slender trees rise above the slabs. A blue and white hot air balloon floats in the sky above the memorial. There are some faint trails of airplane contrails.
