The brick wall has two white doors with decorative glass panels, and there are two lantern-style lights on either side. Potted plants are placed in front of the wall, including two white pots with greenery and a central larger planter with a spiky plant. The ground is paved with stone tiles, and part of a tree can be seen on the right side.
