A large, curved concrete building with multiple rows of windows stands behind a grassy area and a pond. The building is Bedford Borough Council's headquarters. Several trees with autumn foliage are scattered across the scene, and branches frame the top of the image. The sky is overcast, creating a moody atmosphere, and a few people can be seen walking along the path near the water.
