A wide high-altitude grassland beneath barren, rust-tinted mountains under a hazy grey sky. A herd of black yaks with shaggy coats grazes and rests across the green meadow, some lying down and others standing, with one small white animal in the middle distance. In the foreground, scattered rocks, bare brown earth and litter sit among patches of grass. A low building and a few distant structures sit at the foot of the hills on the right. No people are visible in the scene.
