Photo of a row of two-storey, brick-built houses with dormers and basements, and with steps leading down to fairly small gardens and a footpath or sidewalk. There are trees planted between the path and the just-out-of-sight road. We are looking at the row of houses at an angle, so that the closest is on the right side of the photo, and the furthest away is closer to the left side.
