A Serene Morning at Mt. Hood with Native Tribes and Wildlife
Bathed in the soft glow of a spring sunrise, Mt. Hood stands majestically over a serene riverside scene, offering a glimpse into both natural beauty and indigenous culture. In the foreground, the chill of morning air is palpable as smoke gently rises from tribal tepees situated strategically by the river’s edge. A deer and her fawn graze nearby, undisturbed by the quiet rush of the flowing water or the occasional fish breaking its surface. Above, the expansive sky hosts floating clouds which catch the pink hues of dawn, casting a surreal light on this tranquil tableau. To the sides, dense forests of pine and fir frame the mountain, embodying the rich, unspoiled wilderness of the Pacific Northwest. This artwork not only captures the vivid scenery but also subtly respects the heritage and wildlife of the area. *** About Mt. Hood: Located about 50 miles east-southeast of Portland, Oregon, Mt.
