The image is a black and white photograph of a bird standing on the edge of a body of water. The bird appears to be a heron, with a long neck and a long beak. It is facing towards the right side of the image, with its head turned towards the left side. The water is calm and still, with small ripples visible on the surface. In the background, there is a hill covered in trees and shrubs. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the photograph is peaceful and serene.
