Watery autumn day; at the edge of a field beside a towering ivy clad tree stands a man? bearing a child, accompanied by a second child who stands beside him. Broken branches lie at the edge of the field at the far end of which stands a gate with woodland beyond. Ribbons of pink cloud lie across the sky as dusk approaches.
