An aerial view portrays two mountains made of rocks in both side of the picture, these are divided by a river that is passing between both of them. The mountains are completely covered by trees. The hill on the left looks longer and the sun is shining on it; meanwhile the one on the right looks shorter and darker because of its shadow.
