This nighttime image captures a snow-laden urban scene in Ust-Ilimsk, Russia. A coniferous tree, approximately 2.5 meters tall, stands centrally, heavily encrusted with fresh, white snow on its branches and upper structure. The ground around the tree is uniformly covered in deep snow, forming soft drifts. Behind the central evergreen, a low stone retaining wall, also blanketed in snow, is visible. Further back, a cluster of slender, vertical deciduous tree trunks, characteristic of birch, rise into the dark background. To the far right, a building with several illuminated rectangular windows is partially visible against the dark sky. In the immediate foreground, several short, rounded structures, likely painted wooden posts or bollards, are mostly obscured by snow but reveal faint hints of purple, yellow, and green coloration at their bases. No individuals or active subjects are present.
