Next to it is a portion of a brown building which is partly obscured by trees which are painted up most of the left side. Across the lake, on the left, are four small white buildings, the furthest right has a brown arch in front. Next, a dock house, brown, from which a dock extends out into the lake. To the right of this is a row of buildings in yellow, blue and brown. Prominent at right center, midground is a large yellow building on a pier above the water. In the right midground are three pinkish buildings and a platform at the far right. Beyond, behind a row of trees lies another lake. A row of hills lies behind the second lake and a purplish sky.
