The image depicts a nighttime scene at a lock on the Volga River in the city of Ples, Russia. The view is from atop a barge or boat, looking forward through the lock. On either side are the walls of the lock, illuminated by lights, with two decorative towers at the far end. A pedestrian bridge crosses over the lock in the distance, with streetlights and traffic signals (red and green) visible beyond it. Water is present in the lock, reflecting some of the light. On the right, a sign post with the number 71 is visible. The topside of the barge is a flat, grey surface punctuated by numerous circular access hatches.
