In the foreground, a modern building with a glass facade is illuminated from within and from below, giving it a soft green glow. A prominent feature of this building is a decorative tree structure on its roof, adorned with bright yellow lights, resembling a illuminated tree. Directly below this illuminated tree, a sign is visible on the building, reading "СИЛА ВОДЫ" (SILA VODY), which translates to "Force of Water" or "Power of Water" in Russian. This likely indicates the name of the establishment. Adjacent to the building, there is a paved walkway and a road. The road has yellow and black markings. Further along the waterfront, a black wrought-iron fence runs along the edge of the water. Beyond the fence, a lamp post with multiple lights stands tall. In the distance, across the calm body of water, a tree-lined shore is visible, with hints of hills. There are a few people in the scene, one person is sitting at a table outside the building. Another two people are visible on a structure that appears to be a boat or a floating platform near the fence.
