A large willow tree growing on the bank of an oxbow lake in the warm afternoon sun. The tree grows on the left side of the photo and its crown occupies the upper left quarter of the frame. The trunk of the tree is slightly slanted toward the water. Behind the willow tree, a wide strip of old river water curves to the right in the distance. On the other bank we see some tall trees and a regular strip of low bushes along the river. Above this intensely green river valley a huge blue sky with white clouds.
