This is a black-and-white photograph of a valley surrounded by mountains. The valley is full of dark trees that have been dusted with snow. The mountains in the background are tall and surrounded by mist. In the distance on the right side, a thin waterfall pours down from one of the mountains. The sky is dark behind the billowing white clouds.
