Two tall poles with yellow-orange flags stand at the edge, the right one with a crossbar and a flag fluttering in the breeze. The sky fades from deep blue to red-orange near the horizon, and the water reflects the glow. A small distant boat is on the river. A person in a light shawl is partly visible at the right edge. No one is clearly the central figure; the scene is a quiet riverside sunset.2006-01-09
