content: Landscape sketch showing a nocturnal view of a lunar rainbow beside Horseshoe Falls and Terrapin Tower in winter. The tower is prominently situated at center, while the immense curving edge of Horseshoe Falls stretches into the background, where a puffy cloud hangs in the sky at upper right. Beside the Terrapin Tower at right, a rainbow--produced by the light of the moon--begins arching over the falls and extends out of view at right.
