The image shows a landscape view with rolling hills and distant buildings and trees. At the bottom of the image are pale yellow and green grasses that appear to be dusted with snow. In the background the grass becomes a darker reddish-brown, and there are a few tall trees. There are also two houses, one on the left side and one on the right side. The distant hills are a pale gray, and the sky behind is a light beige color.
