- Description
- View of Bow Lake, looking east towards Mount Hector in the distance. In the background are two mountains. The larger one on the right is coloured in grays: violet-grey, dark blue-grey and green-grey. A large cloud sits above the mountain, hiding its summit. The smaller mountain on the left is a medium blue-grey. A second cloud floats in front of this mountain, though the summit is visible above the cloud. In the left foreground a tall tree frames the picture. Some grey stokes indicate dead branches about the base of the tree. The lake in the middleground has the reflection of the larger mountain, in slightly lighter tones than those found on the mountain. The upper part of the reflection is indicated with small vertical strokes, while horizontal strokes are found in the lower section.
