Description

A dark, stormy sky fills the upper part of the frame, with a bright, billowing cloud bank across the left side. Low dark hills line the horizon, and pale streaks trail from the cloud bank toward the right. In the dark foreground a low rectangular shape stands out, and a diagonal dark form cuts in at the far left edge.

Description, scan 2
Bright storm clouds spread across the left half of the sky, while the right side is nearly black with a streaky grey band trailing beneath the clouds. Low dark mountains run along the horizon, and a dark rectangular block sits in the middle distance above an almost black foreground. Fine scratches mark the print.
