A group of twenty individuals sit in a tight cluster on the floor of a forest clearing while at a commune in Gauja, Latvia, 1984. The cleared ground stretches across the foreground. In the mid-ground, people sit on the ground in a loosely-defined row. One person, off-center to the right and nearer to camera, kneels on the ground with their back to the camera. Two people at left hold acoustic guitars in their laps. Three tents stand across the background.
