A black and white photograph presents a very tall, slender brick smokestack as the central element. The stack rises vertically from ground level, dwarfing the surrounding buildings. The smokestack is cylindrical with a ring of metal ladders running up its length, spaced at regular intervals. The surrounding cityscape includes modern buildings with glass facades that reflect the sky. To the left, leafy trees partially obscure a building, creating a sense of depth. The ground is paved and shows pedestrian areas, complete with parking signs, suggesting an urban environment. The sky is clear and bright. The monochrome palette accentuates the textures of the brick and the reflective surfaces of the buildings, enhancing the contrast between the old industrial structure and the modern architecture around it.
