A photograph of a corner of an outdoor yard with a salmon-orange wall over a red painted lower band. A brownish snake with a patterned back lies stretched along the base of the wall, its tail trailing toward the ground. A vertical metal water pipe with a tap stands at the right corner, a dark hose runs across the dirt floor, and a large grey stone sits at the right edge. Sparse green grass, a pink-flowered bromeliad-like plant and scattered debris cover the bare earth. No people are visible.
