Looking down from a path at the edge of a dark woods onto a sunset over a lake. Scene framed by trees. Several trunks discernible (three on left, nine on right). Thicker growth on sides than at top.

The lake beyond and sky above are blue at left and progresses to a wide area of light peach and then, moving to far right, a deep, rusty orange. Purple and dark blue-green islands visible at left and right through trees. Left island has a long sandbar extending into lake.
