Valley of Quiet Wings

Description

Valley of Quiet Wings captures a scenic wilderness landscape framed by towering stone cliffs. Bridging the gap between these cliffs is a carved stone lintel containing a blank decorative banner with leaf-like ornamentation on either side, suitable for text or a title. Beyond the main subject, the sun rises or sets behind distant mountains, casting prominent crepuscular rays up through a cloudy sky and reflecting onto a winding river below. Two ducks swim peacefully on the calm water in the midground. In front, a small stream cascades over rocks, and a small mammal, resembling a marmot or groundhog, sits perched on a rocky ledge on the bottom right.
