Hundreds of people crowd a patio in 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. Most face towards the camera. Some men raise their hats in celebration. Square columns line the left and right sides of the confined space and an elaborate door stands in the background at center.
