This image depicts an outdoor, snow-covered landscape in Talfita, Syria, under a bright, partly cloudy sky. A single individual, dressed in a dark hooded sweatshirt and dark pants, stands in the right-center of the frame, largely silhouetted against the low sun on the left horizon. The person's posture, with legs apart and arms raised, suggests an active motion; a small, spherical white object, consistent with a snowball, is visible in the left hand, while the right hand is open with visible water droplets around it, indicative of melting snow or ice. The immediate foreground features pristine snow with a prominent depression revealing dark soil and sparse, dry plant stalks. The midground consists of a gentle incline covered in snow and scattered piles of rocks. In the distant background, atop a hill to the right, a multi-story, seemingly abandoned or unfinished building with dark, empty window openings is visible. Long shadows are cast across the snow from the figure and other elements, illuminated by the strong backlighting from the sun, which also produces a visible lens flare.
