About this work

This black-and-white photo shows a rocky riverbed winding through a forested hillside. The water is shallow in places, with smooth stones and patches of moss. Trees line the banks, and the hills in the background are thick with evergreens. The photo looks like it was taken from a high vantage point, showing the river’s path clearly. The lighting is soft, with no harsh shadows—just quiet tones. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works by Bourne.
