A narrow alleyway, whose sidewalks, parked cars, buildings, and trees are covered in a thick blanket of snow. On the left of the alley is a light-colored, two-story institutional building of some sort; straight ahead is a brick and metal gate with a sign reading “1865,” a few people standing at the gate, and beyond that, a parklike area filled with snow-frosted trees.
