An Elderly Woman With Shopping Trolley

In Herrsching, Starnberg, Upper Bavaria, Bavaria, Germany, on November 8, 2020, an elderly woman in a thick coat and headscarf pulls a red-dotted shopping cart as she walks past a graffiti-covered urban structure. The scene captures the contrast between aging and modern decay in the city, with warning signs on the doors, electricity boxes covered in tags, and a worn façade. The themes of loneliness, urban life, and resilience in a barren cityscape are emphasized. (Photo by Michael Nguyen/NurPhoto)
