This image depicts a section of the River Colne in Colchester, United Kingdom, specifically looking towards modern residential buildings, likely Quay Works, situated on Haven Road in the Hythe area. The scene is viewed from a shaded bank with dark earth and fallen brown and reddish-brown leaves in the foreground. Patches of green ground cover and small bushes are present. The river's calm, dark surface occupies the midground, reflecting a significant portion of a multi-story, white-faced, modern building with numerous windows. Blue sky is also reflected on the water. Green aquatic vegetation, possibly algae or duckweed, is visible on the water's surface, particularly along the far bank. Overhanging tree branches with sparse, autumnal foliage (varying shades of green, yellow, and brown) frame the upper and side portions of the image. Through these branches, the upper sections of the aforementioned white building are discernible against a clear blue sky. A low wall or structure runs along the far bank, parallel to the river. No individuals or active subjects are present in the frame. The lighting suggests a bright, sunny day.
