Sepia image of the rock formation known as Palisades -- a segment of the Columbia River basalt formations. The Palisades sit up on the hillside above the banks of the Columbia. At the base of the rock formation are deciduous trees mixed in with a few evergreens. The middle background shows the sharp incline of the mountain ending, and a vertical bluff arising, leading to a plateau. The far right background continues with the rock formation to the end of the image.
