The picture was taken on the bank of a river. The bank is covered with green grass and scattered flowers, which stand out as yellow dots against the otherwise monochrome night scene. The river winds its way through a wide valley dotted with meadows and scattered trees. The Milky Way stretches almost vertically across the valley.

A long valley lined with rugged mountains stretches to the horizon. The valley is marked by larch trees and pastures, which are turning orange-brown as autumn approaches. Parts of the valley are partially illuminated by the sun.
