An autumn waterfall drops from a dark ledge into a green plunge pool, tucked between the layered walls of a slate ravine. Orange leaves hang across the opening above the water, and evergreens hold the deeper background. The narrow fall gives the composition a bright vertical line amid the darker stone.

A mossy fallen log crosses the lower foreground, leading past wet leaves and shallow rock shelves toward the pool. Along the left bank, a small path disappears behind the rock, suggesting a place discovered during a quiet woodland walk. Soft light keeps the stone, moss and water distinct, while the secluded framing leaves the surrounding forest to the imagination.
