So Many Feelings

A snow-covered outdoor scene features a swimming pool surrounded by thick snow. In the foreground, a person in a yellow jacket walks along the edge of the pool, which reflects the overcast sky. The background shows a landscape of trees and a distant view of a city skyline over water, with more snowy terrain in between. The entire scene conveys a tranquil winter atmosphere.
