DescriptionView from above of buildings in Montreal. Everything is covered in snow. In the foreground, three people stand along a metal fence. There are lamp posts spaced along it. Below the fence is a strip of buildings, and beyond that is a river that is mostly covered with patches of ice. The land on the other side is covered in snow. There is a large billboard just below where two of the people are standing, which reads, "SWEET CAPORAL / CIGARETTES"
