The image depicts a snow-covered urban scene during winter, consistent with environments found in Saint Petersburg, Russia, though no specific landmarks are discernible within the city. The ground in the foreground and mid-ground is covered in white snow, displaying varied textures and scattered depressions. A black, wrought-iron fence with a repetitive diamond-shaped pattern extends horizontally across the mid-ground, separating the snowy area from a darker, snow-covered strip in the background. Approximately 25-30 rock pigeons (Columba livia) are present throughout the frame. Six pigeons are perched on the top rail of the black fence, positioned between its vertical supports. The remaining pigeons are distributed across the snow-covered ground and in various stages of flight. On the ground, pigeons of mottled grey, black, and white plumage are standing or walking, with some appearing to peck at the snow. Five pigeons are actively in flight or in the process of taking off or landing: one on the far left near the fence is ascending with wings fully extended, one on the upper right is descending with widespread wings, and two centrally located pigeons are captured in mid-air with prominent wing extension, indicative of dynamic movement. A fifth pigeon is observable taking flight to the left of the central flying birds. No human subjects or other man-made objects are visible. The scene is illuminated by diffused light, suggesting an overcast sky.
