This a very colorful landscape and it's one of my favorites.  The purple mountains seem draw your eye into the picture.  Then, you begin to notice the other colors and scenery - the trees, rocks, grass...the waterfall and the shoreline in the distance, which could be a beach. There is something pristine about the way this scene is presented. I imagine the water to be crystal clear and refreshing, the grass soft on your feet. And, the rocks in the foreground, a perfect place to sit and drink it all in.  It makes me want to take a canoe to the far shore to enjoy a snack before continuing my journey around the bend.​
