A drawing of a montainus landscape during a thunderstoem. Two rainbows emerge from the clouds as a white vein of lightening strikes from the sky to ground. The mountains are blurry in the fog and the green grass transitions from a hunter green to a more vibrant green in the foreground. On the right side of the drawing, a lone small structure with a bulbous roof that conforms to a point, is placed atop the grass. A warm, yellow light illuminates the right portion of the sky and then fades into grey.
