DescriptionUnstretched. Image of a scenic landscape of a French countryside. Viewer is on an elevated position overlooking the details of a river winding through the hilly landscape. The river is set in deep ravines and go from a wide mouth (bottom) to a narrow path that play on shadow and depth. The hills are different shades of green and brown and create the illusion of clouds rolling over the hills. A white house (center) is set next to the river and evokes a sense of serenity and isolation.
