The image displays a clear winter day in Kronstadt, Russia. The foreground is dominated by a red brick building with white trim, featuring a prominent cornice and multiple arched openings. On the left, one arch is enclosed with a white surface, containing a black square with a white, inverted chevron-like symbol. A black downspout runs vertically along the facade. Another arched entrance, further right, reveals black and white diagonal stripes on its interior surfaces, with a dark, ornate lamp fixture mounted above. A dark plaque is affixed to the wall next to this entrance. Overhead, multiple strands of flags are strung across the street. The upper strands primarily feature St. Andrew's flags (white with a blue saltire, the Russian naval ensign), intermingled with strings of small, white decorative lights. Lower strands include Russian national flags (white, blue, red horizontal stripes), more St. Andrew's flags, and international maritime signal flags of various designs (e.g., the flag of France, other national flags, and signal pennants). The ground alongside the building is covered in snow, with a partially cleared pedestrian path visible. In the distant right, a solitary individual, dressed in dark winter attire, walks away from the camera on the snow-covered path. Beyond the pathway, numerous bare trees with frost or ice-covered branches are silhouetted against a bright, cloudless blue sky. A brick chimney rises in the background, partially obscured by the building's roofline.
