label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Horseshoe Falls and Goat Island from shoreline of the Niagara River on the Canadian side. The trees and foliage of the nearby bank are visible in the foreground at right, beside a rocky shoreline strewn with large boulders--some of which are semi-submerged. At center left, the bulging portion of Horseshoe Falls (Terrapin Point) is shown with the Terrapin Tower prominently perched precipitously on its edge. At center right, the immense falls kick up a plume of mist. At far left, the woods and sheer cliffs of Goat Island are visible. In the background, rosy sunset clouds hang in an otherwise blue sky.
