Two hikers venture outside a park shelter in the Leelanau Peninsula in the evening, in Michigan. A blizzard is hitting the area, bringing several inches of snow. The shelter is a simple open structure and its door is wide open. Some snow has gotten inside. Indoors the shelter is dark, but outside is brighter thanks to a lamp pole nearby, and some residual sunlight. Both people are wearing long dark coats with hoods and walking ankle deep in snow.

The hills on the Leelalau Peninsula, in Michigan, are covered in snow after a couple days of continuous precipitation, making for a white winter wonderland. A little grass, bushes and a few trees appear among the snow nearby. In the distance there is a large house, and behind it there is a line of tall and dark trees. The sky is overcast, in a blue-gray color.
