This picture depicts an old lady standing in front of a street sign in a old, deserted alley. As seen in the picture.

I suppose that this picture was taken in a Chinese speaking country as the sign is in both English and Chinese language, thus showing that the picture should have been taken in a place where there is a number of Chinese population, perhaps to a certain large percentage. This picture could be taken in a province where it experiences four seasons. It should be winter or end of autumn as the woman in the picture is wearing a thick, long-sleeved sweater. Therefore, i conclude that it should be taken either end of autumn or winter. I feel that the country should be China since it fits my inference.

In the centre of the picture, it portrays an old woman with white hair and a frown over her eyebrows. I think that the old lady in the middle ground may be waiting for somebody as she has a perturbed look on her. Her facial expression also shows a hint of annoyance. I think that she may be waiting for her husband or her children as she is married. I can say so as she has ring on her hand. Nevertheless, she may not be waiting for someone, she may even be waiting for something such as bus or a cab. At the same time, her action of folding her arms can be read as self defend according to psychology or perhaps she is worried. Also, i feel that the old lady seems lonely, with a dash of sadness across her wrinkled skin. I think that the lady should be an Asian not a tourist as her hair has black roots though most of it has turned snowy white, probably due to her age. Besides that, her eyes are also black as charcoal, prove of being an asian.

All in all, in conclusion, i think that lady had been waiting even before this picture is taken, hence explaining her hints of annoyance. Maybe, her family will come and pick her up after a while. Hopefully, they do or the old lady would be very pitiful, waiting in the chilling wind for them.

I feel that the picture may be taken to show irony as the sign behind her reads tower of happiness and hall of mildness, yet the old woman's situaton is pretty much the opposite of joyous and i suppose that the frosty wind in the winter comes nowhere near the word "mild".
