The scene is a view of a body of water, likely a lake or sea, under a cloudy, overcast sky. The water is calm, with gentle ripples visible on the surface. The color of the water is a murky brown, with visible sediment on the sandy bottom near the shore. A flock of white birds are scattered across the horizon and bobbing on the water. The horizon line is visible, and the overall impression is of a still, somewhat bleak landscape. There is seagull vocalization.
