The sun is low in a broad blue sky with wispy clouds. In the distance are hills with trees and buildings on them and in the foreground a metal frame creates an arch, attached to a concrete base. Artist Rachel Pimm, a slim, white person with shortish bleach blonde hair stands at the edge of the photo.
