A fenced backyard is viewed through a chain-link fence in winter. The ground is covered in snow, and a two-story house at the back of the yard has several windows and the lower front door boarded up with plywood. A "For Sale by Owner" sign is posted on the house, and various objects, including a covered grill and a small table, are scattered in the yard. Leafless trees and adjacent houses are visible in the background.
