A historical painting depicting a naval and land battle, with British soldiers in red coats engaging in combat on a hilly landscape near a coastline. Numerous ships with British flags are visible on the water, alongside smaller boats filled with soldiers. Smoke rises from the battlefield, and the scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and a partly cloudy sky.

Colour burst along the Sackville River, Nova Scotia.
A bright blue sky and vibrant fall foliage in oranges, yellows, greens, and reds are reflected in a shallow river. Scattered leaves and rocks are visible in the front of the photo.
