Hundreds of people stand in the streets of downtown Los Angeles as they celebrate the New Year. The crowd occupies the majority of the image and are viewed from a bird's'-eye perspective. A couple power lines pass over the crowd on an angle across the image. Streamers and confetti are visible throughout the crowd.
