Black and white photo. Night on an empty street. A four-headed streetlight shines in a black sky, whirling snowflakes illuminated in its cone of light. Beyond it, a tree, its dark branches lined with snow. More streetlights in the distance. Another tree and the body of a shipping crane barely stand out against the dark. Closer to camera: a spiked fence, and a sidewalk and street dusted with snow (the first hint of much more to come). A fire hydrant flanked by bollard posts stands in dim light at the lower right of the image. The scene feels lonesome, desolate. With bated breath we brace for the storm.
