The dominant feature in the near-field in this view is the back of the beige-brick South Boston High School building. It has a pitched center roof in the center with a weathered green patina. Wings of the school stretch to the left and right. In the mid-ground are many multi-family units that comprise the South Boston neighborhood, as well as the gothic-themed Gate of Heaven Catholic Church. Beyond is Boston Harbor, dotted with the foliage of several harbor islands.
