Canyon Bed
c.1959

A black and white photograph capturing a serene river landscape with towering cliff walls and layered rock formations. The river meanders through the canyon, reflecting light on its smooth surface, while the rugged textures of the rocks in the foreground lead the eye towards the distant cliffs bathed in sunlight.
