The subject position is amongst the rows of houses running diagonally across the scene. This is the suburb of Siddal, perched above the deep valley of Hebble Brook. On the far side of this a dark line of trees marks the position of the railway line, and beyond that the built-up area of Halifax stretches up to the horizon. Although the camera was tilted only slightly downwards, Wainhouse Tower at top left appears to be leaning alarmingly.
