Description

Photograph of a stream near Silver Lake flowing through the wilderness. A wooden plank functions as barrier on the left bank of the stream. It extends from the lower left corner towards the center. A pool from a waterfall (out-of-frame, right) sits in the lower right corner; the stream is at its widest here and narrows as it flows towards the left. The pool spills over a small waterfall and then flows into the distance at left. A jagged boulder stands on the stream's bank at right in the near distance. Trees stand in the background along the bank.
