The image shows the front of a building on Clinton Street, heavily coated in ice. The structure is layered with thick icicles hanging from the window frames and roof edges. The surrounding ground and area are also covered in ice, indicating that water possibly used to extinguish a fire has frozen over the building. The icy facade provides a stark contrast to the typical urban environment.
