The scene depicts a sunset or sunrise over the Perfume River in Kim Long Ward, Vietnam. A bright, spherical orange sun is centrally positioned in the upper portion of a hazy, orange-toned sky. Below the horizon, a series of dark, undulating mountains are silhouetted against the sky. On the far bank of the river, between the mountains and the water, a line of silhouetted trees and indistinct man-made structures, including what appear to be two transmission towers, are visible. The wide river occupies the lower two-thirds of the image, reflecting the sun's intense orange light as a prominent, shimmering vertical streak. A small, dark-colored, enclosed boat with a cabin is positioned centrally within this sun reflection on the water, moving away from the viewer and leaving a subtle V-shaped wake. No individuals are discernible on the boat or within the wider environment.
