The top of the image is gray skies fading to a pale yellow, then a dark yellow and intense reddish orange, covered by by a curved line of trees in silhouette beginning on the left edge in the middle. At the bottom of the image horizontal logs and limbs litter the watery surface of the canal as it bends to the right. A white band of snow on the left bank of the canal bends to the middle of this image taken near sunset with pools of still water interspersed with wooden debris floating in the canal reflect small patches of the sky.

Path of the fallen. Sunset on the abandoned Miami Erie Canal littered with fallen logs, limbs, and sticks. Taken February 28, 2023. #sunset #nature # winter #miamieriecanal #maumeeriver
