Although it's some time after sunrise, the plains below and nearby trees are still in gloom, and low, heavy cloud completely obscures the sunlight overhead. Far off, almost out to sea, the local cloud ends, and a line of cumulus stands out bright and white in the distant sunlight. The horizon behind them is light also, and the light reflects brightly off a large dam in the otherwise dark plain. The scene is framed by a series of eucalypt silhouettes, providing a counterpoint texture to the clouds and the plain.
