The Royal Military Canal, seen near Warehorne, Kent, runs alongside a wood, with a bridge in the distance. The shapes of the trees are simplified, with different shades of green denoting depth. Felled trees, chopped wood and stumps cover the ground on either side of the canal, and a cargo train trundles past on the distant bridge.
