Description
Three slender tree trunks, partially bare with sparse branches, stand prominently in the foreground. They frame a calm, reflective body of water that curves toward the horizon. The water's edge is lined with rocks and a grassy embankment. In the distance, a tree line under a vivid blue sky completes the natural landscape.
