A bridge stretches across the Peace River at the centre of the print. The Peace River runs from the centre left side of the print into the distance on the right side of it. From the bottom right corner a road runs into and then is lost on the close side of the river valley. The immediate foreground is a brown, grassy, shrubby area which gradually turns to green as it crosses the road and descends into the river valley. The opposite side of the river valley is mainly grey. The sky is a heather pink colour with a few tan coloured clouds in it.
