Through a bus window, a street scene of a two-story flat roofed vintage stucco building with a windowed storefront with a "WILLIAMS" sign with the LL & MS in circles like old typewriter keys and the A enlarged and sideways. A bus is reflected in the left window. On the left is the rear of a black car in front of the rear of a red SUV as they drive past. There's a tall utility pole on the right of the store, with an alley and the graffitied brick wall of the side of the building on the other side of the alley. The yellow pull cord on the bus runs across above the Williams building.

Colour-focused b&w image, with a person in profile standing on a street corner wearing a bright yellow satin, unbelted martial arts outfit with stripes around the collar and cuffs. They're accessorised with a yellow jersey knit headband/cap. They're holding a matching yellow "nofrills" plastic shopping bag and looking at their phone. Their eyes are obscured to keep them anonymous. They're wearing white sneakers. In the background are several people behind a street blockade at a corner during a parade. There are police and officials inside the blockade. There are stores along the bottom of the old brick apartment building across the street. The word VARIETY and the casing of the traffic lights are kept yellow as well.

Heavy rain hitting the ground at an intersection, showing visible impact and a white blurry line above the pavement from the downpour. Purple, hot pink and gold light are reflected in vertical bands from a business sign and streetlamps across the street. The bottom of a strip of buildings across the street is visible above the rain line.

A front garden of clusters of large, purple irises with ruffled translucent petals, back-lit by the sun. There's lots of green foliage, including a tall leafy tree. The strong backlighting from the sun in the upper right creates a bright lens flare, tinging the tree leaves framing it purple. A bit of sidewalk and paving bricks appear in the bottom right corner.

A streetcar shelter packed with suitcases, boxes, and personal items. The glass is reflecting a streetcar passing on the opposite side of the street. Inside the shelter is a transit system map, an arrival display, and an ad for spaghetti sauce showing a hand holding a ladel that's pouring tomato sauce over a bowl of spaghetti. An OPEN HOUSE sign is also being reflected. There's a car parked behind the shelter

Two story, aged brick building in an alley, with randomly arranged multicolour bricks of yellow, grey orange, red and black. There are gridded block glass windows on the ground floor on either side of a metal gate door. The second floor has two three-paned windows. Conduit pipes run up the side of the building. Almost half the image below is worn, textured asphalt, showing layers of pavement, and there are two rusty storm drains. A small amount of snow lines the curb in front of the building.

A pink flyer stapled to a tagged wood utility pole with a brightly multicoloured mural covered siding wall and curb in an alley lane behind. The flyer is a black ink graphic of a crying skull with heart-shaped eyeholes and a corded rotary telephone receiver up to its ear and mouth. The voice in the receiver is saying "confess your yearning" under the skull is the words FOR I HAVE YEARNED, and under that is "a night of poetry"
