The view is from inside a car during a heavy downpour. Raindrops streak across the windshield, partially obscuring the view of a wet, paved road and a residential street. The road curves gently ahead. Power lines crisscross above, connecting utility poles lined along the side of the street. Streetlights are visible, their illumination diffused by the rain. Houses and vegetation are visible on either side of the road, but details are softened by the rain. A car passes by. The windshield wiper moves, clearing the rain from the glass temporarily.
