content: Landscape sketch showing a view of a double rainbow over Horseshoe Falls of the Niagara River, as seen from the Canadian bank. In the foreground at right, the craggy edge of a nearby cliff is visible, while the majestic arch of Horsehoe Falls curves from the foreground at right to the middle distance at center. Water cascades in voluminous ribbons and kicks up clouds of mist at the base of the falls. Terrapin Tower and Goat Island are visible in the distance at left. At right, the bases of two rainbows arch over the falls and out of view.
