This sepia-toned photograph shows a mountainous landscape with dense forest vegetation. In the foreground on the left stands a dead or dying coniferous tree with bare, skeletal branches extending upward. Surrounding it are living evergreen trees of varying heights, including tall pines and firs that frame both sides of the composition. The middle ground extends into a valley with thick forest cover, while a prominent rounded mountain peak rises in the background beneath a hazy sky. The image has a reference number "383" printed in the lower left corner and "FISKE" in the lower right corner.
