In this photograph by Florian Ritter there is a path curving into the middle of the scene from the center bottom. It curves slightly downward between old brick and stone buildings. The architecture appears to be oriental. The path looks eroded and the buildings look faded and a little worn. A man walks down it with a hat on and his hands in his pockets facing away from the camera. His dark figure mimics dark architecture of the building on the left. There are green mountains in the foreground and many crossing telephone wires above that mimic the shape of the mountains.
The dark sky gives the picture a very serious and moody tone. The lines from the telephone wires play off the sky like lighting giving a lot of tension. The buildings and the path make lines to draw your eye near the center of the photo. The buildings and ground are very monochromatic reds and browns and they contrast with the green mountains behind them. The image is low in saturation with varying values of black and light grays that really make it look dark and mysterious.
