Description: | On the left, the brownish-grey pointed rock rises, then drops in a steep cliff to the bottom of a deep canyon. Another cliff in the hazy distance carries the horizon across to the right edge of the scene. The silhouette of an intermediate cliff has two tall spire-like points. Below the rock is a small grove of dark green conifers standing at the far edge of a clearing. At the right of the clearing is a bright white boulder with a jagged brown line crossing it.
