The image depicts a winter scene in Novoe Devyatkino, Russia, under bright sunlight. The foreground is covered in fresh snow, where a large group of approximately 30-40 mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) are resting and standing. Many drakes, identifiable by their iridescent green heads, are visible amongst the group. In the lower-left, a rusty, circular metal manhole cover is partially embedded in a concrete base, with snow accumulated around it. Below this, the edge of a snow-covered black tire is visible. The midground features a snow-covered embankment populated with numerous bare deciduous trees. In the background, several multi-story residential buildings with light-colored facades, multiple windows, and balconies are illuminated by the sun, indicating an urban or suburban setting. No people are visible.
