This photograph shows a white-and-blue waterfall on the right cascading over a rocky edge into a misty river below on the left. There are large brown rocks in the bottom left corner, the white spray from the waterfall partially obscuring them. Beside the waterfall, on the far right, is a viewing platform with a fence and greenery. A bridge stretches across the scene in the distance on the left, connecting the land on either side of the pale blue river. Greenery extends into the distance beyond the bridge. The sky has fluffy white and gray clouds against a pale blue background.
