A close-up shows the old wooden groynes near the Pape canal, covered in an impressive layer of ice and frozen spray. The sunset light from the side illuminates the texture of the ice, highlighting icicles and thick ice mounds that completely surround the wooden piles. Some of the wooden tops are still visible, contrasting with the white and translucent ice cover.

On the left side of the image, a low-hanging sun colors the sky in warm yellow and orange tones. The light reflects off the snowy coastline and ice surfaces, creating soft shadows and highlighting the relief of the winter landscape. To the right, the seawater is visible, with small ice floes floating and a thin layer of ice beginning to form.

The composition emphasizes the rugged coastal beauty in winter, where the interaction of water and frost has created unique shapes. The clear sky above the horizon suggests a cold and peaceful evening. The overall mood is quiet and serene, capturing the power of natural elements on the coast.
