The image depicts a residential street in Ulyanovsk, Russia, during a thaw, likely late winter or early spring, under a clear, bright blue sky. The unpaved or poorly maintained road, extending towards the distant horizon, is characterized by extensive melting snow, ice, and muddy ruts, with numerous puddles of water reflecting the sunlight. Dirty snow banks line both sides of the thoroughfare, revealing patches of dark, wet earth. On the left, a concrete utility pole with multiple overhead electrical wires and an attached modern street light fixture stands prominently. Behind it, a bright blue corrugated metal fence separates the road from several single-story and two-story houses, constructed with materials such as light-colored brick and featuring various roof styles, including gabled and corrugated metal. Bare deciduous trees, some with remnant dried leaves or seed pods, line the right side of the street and frame the upper right portion of the image. No individuals or active vehicles are present. The scene is illuminated by strong sunlight casting visible shadows.
