A high-angle close-up, vertical shot captures a common summer misfortune: an ice cream cone lying on its side on a hot, dark, textured asphalt or gravel pavement. A scoop of vanilla ice cream with swirls of pink fruit is rapidly melting in the heat, creating a large, spreading puddle of creamy, brown and pink liquid on the black surface. The crisp waffle cone contrasts with the mess, emphasizing the warmth and the short lifespan of the cold treat. The image conveys a mood of summer heat, disappointment, and mess.
