This photo shows a rocky hillside with a small waterfall rushing down jagged stones. Above it, a lone tree stands near a cluster of old stone houses with thatched roofs. The sky is hazy, blending into the distant hills. The waterfall looks wild, carving its way through the sharp rocks below. The houses seem quiet, tucked away in the greenery. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
