The sun is low in the sky over the horizon. We are overlooking the James River, with wintry landscape and trees in covering the far bank toward the sun, and a bridge with rounded arches in the foreground. The sun shines orange and yellow, with a brief patch of sky mirroring those colors, before dark green and blue-looking clouds spot through the rest of the sky.
