Description

|
Notes:
|
Stretched and unframed. Watchtower stands on riverbank amid long grass on the right. The top of a structure appears just behind it at right center. At left, a bridge crosses a stream and ends at base of tower. In the background, trees recede into the distance left ending in a break where a ghostly outline of another watchtower appears.
