Benches line a fence that extends behind Earl on an angle from right and back to the left. A man (partial view) and a woman sit on the bench to the right of Earl Kellum. She looks to camera and he gazes up towards Earl. Another man stands on a bench behind Earl. Greenery on the other side of the fencing occupies the background.
