Signed Lower Right: T. Hill
A mighty cascade spills down a rugged gray cliff into a frothy, white-capped river below. To the left, tall pines tower over a brambly undergrowth of fiery orange. The river's rushing waters evoke a sense of movement, drawing the viewer into the scene. The overall effect is one of grandeur and raw, untamed beauty.
