A narrow autumn gorge carved through dark rock, its clear stream running over smooth stones beneath crimson and burnt-orange foliage that crowds the ledges above. Warm low light catches the upper cliff tops while the gorge below stays cool and blue in shadow, and a single beam of sun reaches the water. Layered foreground rocks draw the eye into a receding glen of luminous colour and soft haze.
