Make a concise location description of a depressing scene outside a town courtyard with buildings and yellow weeds.

Cracked paving stones underfoot are bordered with lines of withered, yellow weeds. One section which has partly sunken into the ground holds a shallow pool of scummy water, filled with desiccated leaves and other debris. Buildings on either side make the available light sketchy at best, casting the entire alley in an eternal and miserable gloom.
