Hemlock Run Curve, Near Towanda

William H. Rau

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a railway track curving to the left. Along the track are steep tree-covered embankments on the left and a calm river on the right. In the distance, wooded hills meet the sky, with telephone poles lining the railway track. The sky is overcast, and the overall ambiance is serene and timeless.
