A wide daytime view of a broad, calm river in the foreground, with a forested hillside rising behind a riverside town.

Small white waves break against the rocks, and a thin horizon line separates sea from sky. No people, ritual or a person are visible in the scene. The stones and water fill most of the frame, with a few pale rocks at the bottom edge.
