At sunset, dark blue clouds are hanging over a yellow and orange sky. Below, the skyline of trees and houses is in dark silhouette. Lights from houses and cars shine like stars out of the darkness.

An unoccupied spiderweb radiates out from a center circle in the left middle of the frame; row upon row of white strands. It is not new as several gaps appear in the fragile structure. In the background is a green lawn with overgrown stepping stones leading off to the right.
