The image displays a dark green field stretching into the distance. A line of trees and small structures can be seen near the center of the image. One of the structures shows a plume of smoke coming from a small chimney. In front of the structure is a small figure who appears to be wearing a dress. The color palette features earthy tones, with deep greens in the foreground transitioning to softer browns and blues in the distance. The sky is a light blue but is partially obscured by grey and beige clouds. At the center is a full moon, only slightly above the horizon and glowing warmly.
