A white Chantecler rooster with snow-white plumage and a small red comb, in a dark indigo guayabera shirt, perched on the back of a pale painted wooden chair on a flat rooftop at night beside a black water tank, a copper-red, almost fully eclipsed moon with a thin bright edge high in a dark blue sky, a church dome and a lit bell tower above the rooftops of a Mexican city
