A winding road runs beside a river of gentle white-capped waves. An old railroad etched into the hillside bears witness to history, while telephone wires add a touch of modernity. Small cliffs punctuate the sagebrush hills and a bright blue sky tinted with gold radiates with the excitement of the bygone frontier. The slightly rough brushwork captures the dynamic beauty of the scene.
