The image shows a large, decorated Christmas tree standing in the center of a grassy courtyard. The tree is adorned with many blue and gold ornaments and has a thick base of pine needles. There are a few fallen leaves on the grass around the tree, and a few other small trees can be seen around the edge of the courtyard. The tree is situated in front of a group of brick and timber buildings, all with black roofs and large windows. The buildings are connected by a low brick wall. There is a large, bare-branched tree with a thick trunk on the right side of the image, and the tip of a tall, spire-shaped building is visible in the distance through the bare branches. In the background, on the left, a person in a black uniform is walking. In the foreground, on the left, there is a dark spotlight aimed at the tree, and a small black sign can be seen on the ground.  There is also a large tree in the background. The image was taken on a cloudy day.
