This photograph shows two cyclists leaving a cycle path through a tunnel. The image has a somewhat dramatic and contrasted look, with a combination of colour and black-and-white elements.
The foreground and centre of the photo are dominated by a wide, red cycle path, which runs through the tunnel and curves. This path has white markings resembling athletic tracks. The cycle path leads to the opening of the tunnel, creating a view of the outside world.
The tunnel itself is dark and grey, with a curved ceiling and walls, creating a sense of enclosure or transition. Two cyclists, seen from behind, can be seen on the cycle path on their way out. They are wearing light clothing or reflective vests, which stands out against the dark surroundings. On the left side of the tunnel, in the reflection on the tunnel wall, two more cyclists are vaguely visible, adding an interesting depth and repetition.
Outside the tunnel, the landscape is dark and drab, almost in black and white. Trees, bushes and some light poles can be seen under an overcast, gloomy sky. This contrast between the bright red path and the dark outside world and tunnel creates a captivating atmosphere.
