A striped snake swims across water covered in lily pads.
On an overcast day, a close view of the surface of a body of water shows that it is partially covered with several lily pads, and a snake swims gracefully across through the leaves. The body of the snake shows that it is striped longways, being black with a light brown stripe from the head to the tail and white stripes on the side of the body. The snake's small head is just above the surface of the water as it glides towards the upper right of the image, creating ripples and a V-shaped wave. The snake's body is seen just below the surface, with its tail curved to the right under the lily pads. The pale sky is reflective on the surface of the water, along with shaded foliage on the left side of the image.
