This nighttime image displays an urban street scene in Cheongju-si, South Korea, viewed from a low perspective, looking uphill towards a distant skyline of illuminated high-rise buildings. The immediate foreground features a concrete-paved road with a prominent horizontal red painted stripe and multiple dark, irregular stains. On the left, a silver sedan is parked parallel to a corrugated metal fence, which borders a dark structure. Further along the street, additional vehicles are parked on both sides. The midground contains several low-rise buildings lining the street, some exhibiting illuminated windows or storefronts, and a cluster of indistinct figures is visible in the distance on the left. Power lines are visible strung across the upper midground. The background is dominated by numerous modern multi-story buildings, densely packed, with many windows illuminated. A distinct red illuminated cross surmounts a building in the far right background. The sky is dark and overcast.
