On the left, a multi-tiered stone wall, constructed from light-colored, irregular blocks, rises alongside the path. Green foliage, possibly ivy or a climbing plant, densely covers portions of this wall and extends upwards along an unseen structure behind it. Further up the alley on the left, more stone retaining walls and structures are visible, maintaining the upward slope of the terrain.
On the right, a multi-story building with light-toned, textured exterior walls (possibly stucco or stone veneer) parallels the alley.

A dark, ornate wrought-iron gate with a curvilinear design secures this entrance. Immediately adjacent to the gate and within the archway, a large, spiky-leaved plant (resembling a Yucca) is growing, with a smaller plant nearby. Windows on the stone building are dark and lack visible interior illumination.
To the right and slightly behind the stone building, a second structure with smooth, light yellow/beige walls is visible, featuring a window with closed brown shutters and a white horizontal vent on its upper section.
In the foreground, a low, thick stone wall runs parallel to the street on the left. The asphalt street surface is irregularly illuminated by an unseen light source, creating mottled patterns of light and shadow, possibly cast by overhead foliage. Further up the street, a dark-colored hatchback automobile is parked on the right side. Overhead, in the upper right quadrant, the bright green foliage of a large tree or shrub with elongated leaves is prominently lit against the dark, clear night sky.

A light-colored vertical downspout is affixed to the left corner of this tower. To the right, an adjacent stone-clad section of the building features an arched entrance leading to a dark wrought-iron gate. A terracotta-tiled roof with a visible chimney extends above this section.
The foreground consists of a dark paved surface exhibiting lighter patches where artificial light falls. A low, curved stone wall, constructed from similar stone to the building, demarcates the paved area from a slightly elevated terrain. Green, leafy vegetation is present on the far left, illuminated by a direct light source.
