A full-frame, eye-level photograph captures an urban sidewalk scene at night or dusk in Yuzhong District, China, under artificial illumination. Three primary subjects – two East Asian women and a Samoyed dog – are depicted moving from left to right across the paved walkway. The woman on the left, an adult female with round eyeglasses, wears a black zip-up jacket over a cream button-up cardigan, grey and white plaid trousers, and white fuzzy slides. A light pink crossbody strap traverses her chest. A clear water bottle with a pink cap and black dispenser is clipped to her left side, and a yellow, rectangular object is held in her right hand. A patterned bag hangs from her left shoulder. She exhibits a subtle smile, gazing forward. To her right, a second adult female, wearing a cream long-sleeved sweater, light gray wide-leg trousers, and dark open-toed sandals, holds a leash attached to the dog. She is leaning slightly forward and smiling broadly downwards. A light pink crossbody strap is visible, and a clear plastic pouch hangs from her right hip. Positioned between the two women and slightly ahead, a white, fluffy Samoyed dog stands on all four paws, facing forward and slightly to the right. Its tongue is partially extended. The dog is adorned with a light purple ruffled garment. The background is out of focus, revealing multiple blurred pedestrians, a white vehicle on the far left, and indistinct building facades with illuminated signs. Light reflections are visible on the dark, possibly wet, paved ground. Spherical light gray bollards are aligned along the left edge of the sidewalk, and planters containing greenery are situated on the right.
