Summary:
Winter evening scene depicting a wooden bridge over a stream in the foreground, with a male figure carrying a snow shovel over his shoulder as he walks through deep snow banks with his dog. Just beyond a cabin stands by a frozen stream streaked with sunlight as the sun low in the sky casts long shadows across the ground. On the horizon soaring mountains are silhouetted against a gold and orange sunset sky.
