This image depicts a nocturnal winter scene on the Iset River in Yekaterinburg, Russia. The Iset River is entirely frozen and covered with a layer of snow and ice. In the mid-ground, the Kalinina Bridge (also known as the Stone Bridge or Malyshev Bridge), an arched bridge lined with multiple yellow streetlights, spans the frozen river. Beyond the bridge, the illuminated skyline of downtown Yekaterinburg is visible, featuring several high-rise buildings, some displaying distinctive vertical patterns of blue and white decorative lighting. To the far left, a large plume of white smoke or steam rises against the dark blue-grey sky. In the foreground, a single individual stands on the frozen river, oriented with their back to the camera, facing towards the bridge and the illuminated city skyline. The person is wearing dark outerwear, possibly a hooded jacket, and light-colored trousers. The immediate foreground and riverbanks are covered in snow, with artificial orange light casting a glow on the snowy surface on the right side. The overall scene is brightly lit by numerous artificial sources against a dark, overcast sky.
