The Scarlet Cascade

"The Scarlet Cascade" draws viewers in with its dynamic interplay of light and color at Falls Park in Sioux Falls, SD. The image, captured at twilight, showcases the cascading falls framed by rugged red quartzite rock formations. The sky above, ablaze with streaks of magenta and scarlet clouds, mirrors the earthy tones below, creating a harmonious balance between earth and sky. The rushing water, tinged with the glow of the fading sun, reflects an almost fiery brilliance, blending seamlessly into the theme of the exhibit.

The artist behind the photograph speaks about their inspiration:

"This scene was the perfect embodiment of nature’s palette. The red tones of the quartzite, the sky’s fiery embrace, and the life flowing through the falls remind us of the many shades of passion, energy, and resilience found in the color red. To me, Falls Park isn’t just a geographical landmark; it’s a testament to how red flows through the veins of our world."
