This photo shows a steep mountain valley with jagged cliffs on both sides. A small stream runs through the green meadow below, where a lone person walks alongside a cow. Tiny wooden houses sit near the water, and the sky is hazy with soft light. The artist focused on how light hits the cliffs, making some parts glow while others stay shadowy. This trick makes the mountains feel real and alive. If you like this play of light and shadow, look up *chiaroscuro* next.
