Havasu Falls Photograph Appraisal

Framed Havasu Falls Landscape Photograph

A vertically oriented landscape photograph featuring Mooney Falls or Havasu Falls within the Havasu Canyon, Arizona. The image showcases a long-exposure technique that blurs the falling water into a silky white veil, contrasted against the characteristic red sandstone and travertine rock formations of the Grand Canyon region. The water at the base exhibits a vibrant turquoise-blue hue, typical of the high calcium carbonate content of Havasu Creek. The print is professionally mounted under glass with a wide, forest green mat and a secondary cream-colored inner mat board. It is housed in a substantial solid oak wood frame with a clear finish, highlighting the natural grain. Based on the framing style and the use of prominent oak, this piece likely dates from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s. The overall craftsmanship appears to be of gallery quality with clean mitered corners and professional assembly. The condition appears excellent with no visible fading to the pigments, water damage to the matting, or significant abrasions to the wooden frame, though there is a slight reflection on the glass surface typical of standard glazing.
