The image is a landscape photograph of a barren hillside with a clear blue sky in the background. The hill is covered in dry grass and shrubs, and there is a layer of snow on the left side of the image. In the distance, there are mountains with snow-capped peaks. The sky is a bright blue with a few wispy clouds scattered across it. A large plume of white smoke or steam is rising from the ground, creating a hazy effect. The image is taken from a low angle, looking up at the hill and the surrounding landscape.
