River Beneath Autumn Cliffs

A vertical landscape photograph follows a fast-moving river through a narrow, wooded gorge. Sunlight catches the golden foliage on the right-hand slope while the foreground water remains cool and shadowed, creating a strong passage from darkness into distance. A small riverside structure and suspended utility lines introduce signs of habitation within the otherwise rugged setting, while the bright open sky gives the upper frame a spacious counterpoint to the dense ravine.
