Description: In the scene a waterfall flows into a body of water. On either side of the waterfall are trees with foliage all around. On the left side of the waterfall, there is a man-made path and next to the path is a cross that implies a grave or some sort of marking of a lost one. There are two people next to the gravestone, one figure sits and looks up at the cross. These figures are so small. In the background there is a mountain range and in the very back are mountains covered in snow.
