The image provides an elevated, matter-of-fact view over the rooftops of Howden, United Kingdom, beneath a uniformly overcast sky. In the immediate foreground, a steeply pitched roof tiled with red terracotta displays moss growth and two broken or displaced terracotta half-round tiles. Adjacent to it, a dark grey slate-tiled roof is also visible, separated by a dirty valley gutter. The midground consists of an array of multi-story brick buildings, primarily red, with red tiled roofs and numerous windows; some facades are painted white. Chimney pots are visible on several structures. In the background, Howden Minster stands prominently, characterized by its tall, square, stone tower with Gothic architectural details and a cross at its apex. A significant section of the Minster's roof exhibits a distinct green patination. To the right of the Minster, mature trees with sparse foliage line a grassy area where several blue and grey refuse bins are placed. No persons are visible within the frame.
