Waterfall, Sierra Nevada, 1978

The image exhibits a captivating black and white photograph of a serene waterfall cascading over rugged, textured rocks, creating an ethereal, misty effect as the water flows smoothly downward; the stark contrast between the dark, almost ominous rocks and the soft, bright water highlights the natural beauty and tranquil essence of this secluded scene, capturing the moment where water meets stone in a harmonious yet dynamic balance, suggesting almost a timeless quality to the interaction of these elemental forces.
