The image captures a sunlit outdoor plaza on the University of Zurich campus, Zurich, Switzerland. A strong lens flare emanating from the upper right quadrant of the frame traverses diagonally across the scene, indicating bright, direct sunlight. The ground is paved with light grey, granular material, marked by dark linear expansion joints, and features a prominent sun reflection in the lower-mid section. Four individuals are in the midground, walking across the plaza from left to right. On the left, two individuals are walking closely together: one wears a light-colored, possibly white or cream, puffy coat over dark clothing; the other wears dark clothing and carries a dark bag. Slightly to their right, a third individual, with visible long hair, is dressed in a dark coat and walks with their left arm slightly raised. Further right and ahead, a fourth individual, clad in dark attire including a cap and a backpack, walks away from the camera. In the background, two prominent structures define the environment. To the left and center, a large, multi-story building is under construction or renovation, characterized by a grey facade with multiple window openings, scaffolding, and white protective sheeting on its upper level. A tall red-and-white tower crane is positioned behind this building, extending upwards and to the left. To the right, an older, multi-story building constructed of dark grey stone blocks, featuring arched windows and a visible roof gutter, stands. Between the individuals and the background structures, bare trees with sparse leaves, public benches, and a low wall with visible graffiti are present. Long shadows from the subjects and unseen elements extend across the plaza towards the left, consistent with a low sun angle.
