The image displays an outdoor ground-level scene in Tromsø, Norway, under winter conditions. The primary surface is a heterogeneous mixture of white snow and clear ice, covering the foreground and midground. Numerous fallen leaves are scattered across this frozen surface; they exhibit colors ranging from dull green to brown and yellowish-brown. Many of these leaves are partially coated with a crystalline layer of frost or ice. An adjacent, darker, slush-covered surface, indicative of a road or pathway edge, is visible in the upper-left portion of the image. Along the right side, sparse, leafless branches and patches of green evergreen foliage protrude, partially obscured by snow, forming a natural border. No human or animal subjects are present in the scene.
