This image depicts the Lacerda Elevator (Elevador Lacerda) in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, observed during dusk or early night. The central subject is the tall, white, multi-story Lacerda Elevator, an Art Deco structure with a prominent shaft and an elaborate upper terminal, positioned on the right side of the frame. An overhead traffic light displaying a red signal is suspended near the elevator's upper section. The sky is a deep twilight blue, featuring two distinct, bright celestial objects. Behind the elevator, a steep, vegetated hillside rises, topped by a long, arched stone structure illuminated by numerous string lights. Below this, several multi-story buildings, some appearing weathered or in disrepair, cling to the slope. At street level, the scene is active with pedestrians. A significant group of individuals is gathered on the sidewalk in the foreground, particularly near the ground-level entrance of the Lacerda Elevator, which is marked "ENTRADA." Adjacent commercial buildings display signs, including "Panificação CAYRU Confeitaria." Other traffic signals are visible: a red light on a pole on the left side of the street and a green light further down the street on the right. A white vehicle is partially visible on the far right at the bottom of the frame. The environment is illuminated by artificial light sources from streetlights, building interiors, and traffic signals.
