Bright green grass and clear blue sky are split in half by the image of a large tree damaged in a storm, the right trunk still standing upright, while the left has splintered off and is perpendicular to the grass. The gash in the tree reveals a bright, creamy, smooth-seeming inner wood in contrast to the dark grayish bark on the outside of the trunk.
