A detailed, high-angle view depicts multiple water hyacinth plants (Eichhornia crassipes) floating on a dark, still body of water. The plants exhibit numerous vibrant green, glossy, cordate-shaped leaves, many supported by distinctly swollen, air-filled petioles. The water surface shows subtle reflections of ambient light and some diffuse overhead shapes. In the upper background, a moist terrestrial area is visible, characterized by a rocky or earthen bank covered with moss and various small green foliage, including a fern-like plant on the upper right. The scene is situated in Parroquia San Francisco, Venezuela.
