A vertically oriented black-and-white photograph crops around a carousel at night. A dark, scalloped awning silhouette occupies the upper right. A tilted, brightly lit platform cuts diagonally across the center, revealing small figures and glowing lamps. Silhouetted, bare tree branches spider across the upper left sky. A bright street lamp glows on the far left. Heavy shadows swallow the lower half of the composition, creating a stark, high-contrast scene.
