A monochrome photograph that has been modified to give it a yellow background. The top stories of a modern high-rise building can be seen beyond a motorway bridge. The bridge, and the buildings and trees around it, are more or less silhouetted against the yellow sky, as are a lamppost on the bridge and a wire extending across the sky in front of the high-rise building and the lamppost.

A monochrome photograph two showing barriers. Over the top of these, in the background, can be seen a crane and the upper stories of buildings while in the foreground young people – dressed for summer – are drinking and socialising upstairs on a temporary ‘Innis & Gunn’ structure. On one of the barriers are the words ‘Enjoying a street show?’.

A good drink and a good chat.
