The image displays a nighttime winter scene in a public park or pedestrian thoroughfare within Irkutsk, Russia. A single individual stands prominently in the foreground, centered on a snow-covered pathway, facing directly towards the camera. This person wears a bright red puffer jacket, grey trousers, a light-colored beanie, and light-colored footwear. To the immediate right of the individual, a large, ornate streetlamp is positioned, designed to resemble an oversized desk lamp. Its conical shade, constructed from intricately patterned, perforated metal, houses a bright light source that casts an upward beam into the dark night sky. This lamp illuminates the foreground subject and the surrounding snow. A series of identical streetlamps extends into the distance along the pathway, providing additional illumination. The pathway itself is covered in a layer of snow and appears to be made of paved material underneath. It is bordered on both sides by numerous trees, predominantly bare-branched deciduous varieties. Many of these trees are decorated with colorful string lights, emitting hues of purple, green, and orange/yellow, which reflect vibrantly off the snow-covered ground. Dark-colored park benches are visible along the left edge of the pathway, partially covered in snow. A few indistinct human figures can be observed further down the illuminated path in the background. The overall ground surface is uniformly covered in snow, reflecting the various artificial light sources.
