A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph depicts a city across a frozen body of water textured with mottled circular patterns. A small building sits on the snowy shoreline at the left. Beyond a road, dense urban blocks recede toward the horizon, featuring a prominent multi-story white building centrally positioned near a construction site. Scattered clouds fill the sky above the distant cityscape.
