A few hippies pose amongst other pedestrians in the street. In the foreground, A woman with a sweater over her shoulders leans into frame. She mimics a spyglass with one hand by brining it up to her left eye. Behind and to the left of her, to people pose. A man is at left wearing a suit. He takes a drag of his cigarette while looking to camera. The woman beside him stands in profile, facing left, but purses her lips slightly to camera. She appears to block the man's forward movement by placing a foot in front of him. A spectacled man behind and to the right of these two poses for the camera as well. Another man peeks into the photograph from the right edge; he wears a horizontally striped shirt. Other pedestrians mill about either a square or a street that extends behind them. Nearby buildings stand across the background.
