Several hippies congregate in a clearing of a forest while at a commune in Viitna, Estonia, 1977. A small pine tree stands along the left edge; it occupies half of the image. Behind it, a person or two is seated. The tree obscures their view. Slightly farther back at center, a man wearing a hat and wide-legged pants appears to walk in an exagerrated manner from left to right. Along the right edge, a man wearing a headband and tie-dyed shirt sits on the ground. Another man stands behind him. This man faces towards camera while smoking a cigarette. A tent is visible in the background.
