DescriptionThe image is a landscape in which ruts in the foreground, just right of center, travel into the background through an undulating unkempt field that leads to a structure on the horizon line left of center. A rock wall follows the right edge of the field and two trees, one with leaves and one barren, grow in a curve of the wall. In the center of the horizon line a white moon peeks over the edge.
