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.

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.

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.
