The image depicts the Palace of Culture and Science (Pałac Kultury i Nauki) in central Warsaw, Poland, under conditions of dense fog and an overcast sky. The upper spire of the colossal grey skyscraper is completely obscured by the fog, while the lower and mid-sections, including its prominent ornate base and the visible "PAŁAC MŁODZIEŻY" (Palace of Youth) signage above the main entrance, remain discernible. In the immediate foreground, a broad paved plaza extends across the width of the frame, detailed with an arrangement of black, traditional street lamps lining its edges. To the left, a large deciduous tree with bare, dark branches partially obstructs the view of the building. Below and slightly to the left of this tree, a black traffic light pole displays a blue pedestrian crossing sign. Beyond the plaza, a street with several parked cars and a few small pedestrian figures leads toward the building. Colorful banners are displayed on the facade above the main entrance. Another pedestrian is visible walking from right to left on the paved plaza in the lower-left quadrant of the image. The periphery of the scene is populated by bare trees, with some on the right exhibiting remnants of brown, withered leaves. The overall illumination is dim and diffused, indicative of the foggy, overcast conditions, though some interior lights are visible through the building's windows.
