The image depicts a nighttime outdoor scene in New York City, United States, featuring Butler Library on the campus of Columbia University. In the immediate foreground, a dark paved surface with a hexagonal tile pattern is visible. The midground features a rectangular, illuminated grassy lawn on the left. To the right of the lawn, a paved walkway is present, along which a row of approximately five large, dark, rectangular objects are situated. These objects appear to be covered or wrapped, and each is secured with visible red vertical straps. A solitary individual, dressed in dark clothing, is observed walking away from the viewer along this paved walkway, heading towards the library. Two additional, less distinct figures are faintly visible on the grassy lawn further in the distance. The dominant background feature is the multi-story, classical-style Butler Library, identifiable by its light-colored facade, numerous brightly illuminated windows (many arched and flanked by columns), and a well-lit upper floor. The building's interior lights are active. Several streetlights or pathway lights are operational, casting warm yellow illumination across the scene. Other illuminated high-rise buildings are discernible in the far background, confirming an urban environment. The sky is dark and clear, indicating nighttime conditions.
