Description, scan 2
Dark conifer trunks frame the foreground on both sides, with dense scrub and tree tops below. Beyond, a low flat strip of land meets a pale sea, and mountain ridges rise under a bright hazy sky on the right. The view is soft and somewhat grainy, with a faint frame border around the image.
