DescriptionThe image is a landscape in which a structure is nestled on a hillside in a woodland setting. A narrow sliver of level foreground gives way to a hillside covered in lush foliage on which, left of center, a staircase cuts through to the structure above. The structure is partially hidden by foliage however it fills the middle ground; it has a low profile roof line, stairs on the left, and lattice on the right. Two aspen trees stand in front of the structure on the left and a cluster of three aspen trees frame the right edge of the composition. Foliage fills in the background.
