The scene is a nighttime shot of a snow-covered public area, possibly a park or plaza. The ground is paved with light-colored rectangular stones. A circular wooden bench surrounds a small tree that is bare of leaves. The tree is situated in a patch of snow that is partly melted. Three slim, copper-colored poles rise from the snow around the tree, and each pole has a light fixture at the top. Above, strings of small, glowing lights are suspended across the space, adding to the illumination. In the distance, there are hints of buildings, and a few figures can be seen walking. The overall mood is cold and quiet.
