The aurora borealis in greens, yellows, and pinks (and maybe even a little purple) lights up the night sky and reflects off of the surface of a lake. The Big Dipper is in the top right corner. There’s a tower with red lights on the right hand side and some grasses on the foreground on the right.
I love it so much.
