Description
A calm turquoise lake fills the foreground, bordered by a steep green hillside with pale, chalky cliff faces breaking through the vegetation on the right. A small white sail is visible on the water near the shoreline, and a tall white cumulus cloud rises against the pale blue sky above the ridge.
