The image is a black and white photograph of a young man standing on a frozen lake. He is wearing a sweater, pants, and a cap, and is holding a pair of skis in his hands. The skis are made of wood and appear to be made of metal. The man is standing on the ice, and in the background, there are several wooden huts and buildings. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is cold and desolate.
