Snake River

The picture was taken from an elevated point of view and depicts the Snake River in a mountainous valley.  Ansel Adams photographed this very scene. In his famous photo, dark evergreen trees cover the steep left bank of the river, and lighter deciduous trees cover the right. In the top half of the frame, there is The Tetons mountain range, covered in snow. The sky is overcast in parts, but only partly cloudy in others, and the sun shines through to illuminate the scene and reflect off the river in these places
