Description
Below Niagara Falls, extending for some 7 miles (11 km) is the Niagara Gorge.
It is scattered with Silurian formations which display a wealth of natural beauty. This gorge is a product of erosion that continues to be sculpted by the rushing water from the Falls which is undercutting the soft shale beneath a ledge of the more-resistant Silurian dolomite.
Millions of years ago, this is actually where the Falls were located and eventually the area where they are presently, will look like this until they eventually work their way back to the Lakes and cease the natural erosion of the landscape.
Enjoy and thanks for viewing and commenting.

Great work! I love your forays into real places that are as compelling and beautifully rendered as anywhere imagined! Fantastic work, especially with the light and the texturing.
Excellent work Keith, that's some cliff face in there. Interesting to read your desciption as well of the life cycle of Niagara Gorge. I like the upfront foliage. Tony :-)
Wow, the first glimpse of this made me dizzy~~wonderful image and I love the info as well!!

I agree with Marilyn, thought I was going to fall off. Magnificent scene, Keith and your description makes it so interesting. Wonderful render!
NIce work. Great light quality.
wow it looks just like it ! fantastic Keith ... obviously you have been there! its only about 90 minutes from me ! it once took me 5 hours tho ! lol .. I got lost hahahaha
Having visited this gorge many times,I can say you've done it justice here Keith...the cliff face is very well done,and theforeground branches add depth to your image.Well done!
A Fantastic scene Keith , excellent work ! Ana
This is pretty good. The height, depth, reflections and foreground vegetation all combine to make an excellent render.
very nice
Excellent comp and love the FG. Wicked terrain and excellent work...
The branches in the foreground give a good sense of distance and depth of field in this superbly lit landscape. I haven't yet worked on the textures and mats in the tree editor, but there should be a way of making them more realistic, just like the terrain mats which need a good working on them to adjust them to what actual rocks and terrains look like.Very nice Bryce scene, as always, Keith.
Wonderful image! Superb composition! 5++

man, that looks just like it! I've hiked around that area many times and your rendering is right on!
Fascinating story and real cool render of the place!
Fantastic work!!!
super looking and a super story to boot
I went out to the outlet of the river at an old fort and it is an awesome area. your depiction is superb
Well done. These formations you conjure are consistently surprising. If you read the first chapter in Susan Kitchen's book Realworld Bryce, where it tells about the evolution of the program, you understand that this was precisely what Bryce was designed for. Kudos.
Fantastic scene and wonderful work.
