The image depicts a turbulent mountain stream within a forested area, identified as being in the vicinity of Zakopane, Poland. The scene is characterized by cold weather conditions. The foreground is dominated by the rapidly flowing water of the stream, which is white and foamy due to its movement over numerous dark, irregularly shaped rocks that form the riverbed. Sunlight reflects brightly off the water and ice. Several rocks within the stream and along its banks exhibit substantial ice formations, including icicles hanging from their surfaces and sheets of ice encasing their forms. Patches of green grass with visible ice crystals are present on a rock in the immediate lower right foreground. The midground features more of the rushing water and a continuation of the rocky riverbed. The background consists of a dense coniferous forest, with tall, dark evergreen trees (likely pines or spruces) lining both banks of the river and extending upwards towards a clear, light blue sky visible between the tree canopy. The sunlight, appearing to emanate from the right or upper right, backlights portions of the forest, creating bright glares and strong contrasts. No individuals or man-made structures are present within the frame.
