A small church with grey shingles, black shutters, and a red steeple sits on a hill while a dark stone fence runs between the sidewalk of the street and a small cemetery next to the church. In the cemetery are old headstones, with some of the stones leaning over. In the background are two storey townhouses and next to the cemetery is a multilevel house with blue siding and wooden fire escapes going down the side wall.
