This black-and-white image shows a rocky gorge with a small arched bridge crossing a shallow stream. The cliffs are steep and covered in patches of trees and shrubs. The bridge has two arches, and the water below looks clear and fast-moving. The title at the bottom reads "Gorge de la Nouvelle Route des Eaux-Chaudes," which hints at a specific location in France. If you like this kind of dramatic landscape, check out Romanticism.
