A view down a long, straight bike path at dusk. In the center is a painted yellow line stretching to the horizon; to the left is a chain link fence with bands of horizontal lighting illuminating the path at regular intervals from underneath a steel railing at waist height. On the right is a 2-story brick warehouse building with illuminated windows and graffiti art. In the middle distance are two people blurred from a long photo exposure walking along the path.
