Boats are seen constantly motoring into this unique bay of the lake in the background, their wakes following and spreading out behind them. The middle ground is a landscape of rocks and evergreens. The sky composes the top fifth of the frame, with distant and massive growing rain clouds, and the sloping forest landscape imposing onto it. Shadows from clouds overhead pass through the scene onto the lake and away from the point-of-view. A
