Defamiliarizing a Photograph.

In this photograph I see three young people walking on railroad tracks. The railroad tracks seem normal, possibly out of use, and have gravel in between and all around besides them. The two youngsters closest to us appear to be wearing backpacks. They are all wearing one item of pinkish orange clothing. I cannot seem to make clear the sex of the individuals, except the last little girl because she has a blonde braid going down her back. The person closest to us is carrying a yellow balloon with a smiley face on it. On both sides of the railroad tracks there are small light green bushes. On the outer part of these bushes there are large trees with deep green leaves. Above the young people in the picture there are visible power lines that seem to be constructed forever. There are no other people around, but you can see buildings in the distance. It is also a sunny day with a fantastic baby-blue sky in the background.
