An expansive aerial view captures a winter sunrise or sunset over Ust-Ilimsk, Russia. The sky dominates the upper half, exhibiting a gradient from light grey-white at the zenith, transitioning to soft purples, vibrant pinks, and a broad band of intense orange-yellow along the horizon, where the radiant golden sun is partially visible just above a dark treeline. Multiple overhead power lines extend diagonally across the middle left of the frame. In the foreground, the upper-left quadrant shows a partial view of a light blue-grey multi-story residential building with several balconies. In the midground, a light blue-grey multi-story apartment block, also covered in snow on its flat roof, is prominent in the lower-right section. This building features multiple balconies, some enclosed, some open, and some with visible red-orange fascias. A single interior light illuminates a window on its side. The ground between the buildings is entirely blanketed in white snow, traversed by a cleared, dark asphalt road. Sparse, snow-dusted trees and bare bushes are scattered across the snowy terrain. A dense forest of snow-covered coniferous and bare deciduous trees forms a dark green-brown band across the center of the image, obscuring the immediate foreground from the distant elements. Beyond the treeline, a frozen body of water is visible, bordered by a range of dark, snow-dusted hills or mountains stretching along the horizon. No individuals are depicted.
