Here is a description of the image:

This is a stereoscopic photograph from the "Expedition of 1873," taken by 1st Lieutenant Geo. M. Wheeler, of the Corps of Engineers Commanding. The image is presented in a classic format of two slightly different, side-by-side views that, when viewed through a stereoscope, create a three-dimensional effect.

The scene depicts a serene landscape dominated by a small, dark lake or pond, nestled among trees and a rocky hillside. The perspective suggests that the photographer captured this from a slightly elevated position, looking down on the water body.

In the foreground, there's dense vegetation including tall grasses and perhaps some low-lying bushes, and a couple of fallen logs. These are likely the closest elements in the scene, providing depth.

The middle ground features the lake, with a dark surface. Tall trees and some bare branches line the banks.

In the background, a rocky hillside rises up, cloaked in trees and brush. There appear to be some rock formations at the top of the hill. The composition conveys a sense of peace and isolation. The sepia tone and the printing style suggest this photo was taken during the late 19th century.
