A peninsula of land is shown, oriented with water at the top and along both sides of the image, shows green vegetation surrounded by dark water that becomes more blue green in the lower right. Two bridges connect this land to other areas at Manns Harbor at the top right and on the top left of the peninsula East Lake. A ghost forest runs down the coast from Manns Harbor to Stumpy Point.
