Thin early ice forming across a quiet river. Trees line the far bank under a grey sky. Two empty chairs sit at the shoreline beside logs and dried plants, facing the frozen surface.

A light layer of ice is spreading over the river, smoothing the water into a dull shine. The trees across the bank stand still in the cold. Two empty chairs wait at the edge where the frost is settling in.
