The breadth of this histogram peak indicates the significant brightness variability in the scene. An image with more uniform surface cover, with less brightness variation, would show a much narrower histogram peak. If the scene includes extensive areas of different surface materials with distinctly different brightness, the histogram will show multiple peaks.
