A couple hippies recline against a log while attending a commune in Vitrupe, Latvia, 1978. The ground is oriented along the right edge. Three people lie on the ground, but due to the camera's orientation, they appear upright. Near the top of the image, a log supports their heads as is passes horizontally across the image. The man at right wears a corduroy jacket and glasses; he turns his head down and to the left. To the left of him, a woman lies. She holds a book that they both look at. Behind and to the left of her, another woman lies on the ground. A hand dips into frame from the upper right corner.
