Two individuals in graduation gowns and caps stand on a grassy area in front of a building with large windows. They have wide joyful smiles with teeth showing. They are holding and spraying a drink, with the liquid visibly splashing out of the bottle. Plants and flowers are visible in the background near the building.

A rooftop garden at a university library featuring a variety of colourful flowers and plants. A gravel pathway winds through the greenery, leading to a building with large windows and a unique roof structure. The sky is partly cloudy, adding to the serene atmosphere. There are multiple pigeons, and two ravens in the shot.
