The black-and-white photo shows the typical Swiss Jura Mountains. Smoke can be seen in the foreground, while the forests of the Ankenballenflue are visible at the bottom right. On the right horizon, the third Jura chain with the Passwang-Vogelberg area can be seen. A light haze adds a delicate veil to the image, giving it an ethereal quality.

The photo was taken from Belchen facing west. The landscape showcases the rugged beauty of the Jura with its rolling hills and dense forests. The interplay of light and shadow highlights the textures of the terrain, creating a striking contrast that accentuates the natural features of this picturesque region. The light haze in the valleys evokes a sense of mystery and timelessness, drawing the viewer into the serene yet powerful landscape.
