On the banks of the Wabash River at Terre Haute, a dark tree trunk frames the left side of the view while overhanging branches and a flowering shrub fill the right and foreground. Across the water, a low wooded bank sits under a pale sunset sky.
Terre Haute sits on the Wabash in western Indiana and developed as a railroad and industrial center. The river remained the city's defining natural feature, and this view presents it as a quiet scenic edge to the town.
