The image displays a winter scene in Kyiv, Ukraine. A dense, deciduous shrub or small tree, devoid of leaves, occupies the majority of the frame. Its intricate network of bare, dark brown branches is laden with numerous clusters of small, bright red berries. A distinct layer of white snow covers the ground beneath the shrub and an irregular accumulation of snow rests horizontally along the uppermost branches. The background above the shrub is a bright, uniform white, indicative of an overcast sky or snow-covered distant landscape. No individuals, animals, or man-made objects are present.
