A tall waterfall drops through a shadowed gorge, its white ribbon of water catching a shaft of golden afternoon light. Autumn maples in crimson and amber frame the dark cliffs, while drifting spray rises like a glowing veil against wet rock. Dramatic contrast between deep brown-green shade and radiant falling water gives the scene a romantic, timeless grandeur.
