A photograph of a clear mountain river winding through rocky banks beneath towering pine‑covered peaks, with sunlight catching countless tiny gold specks that float on the surface. In the foreground, a weathered prospector wearing a canvas shirt and a wide‑brimmed hat kneels, holding a metal pan that reflects the glittering flecks as he gently swirls the water. Mist rises from the cool water under a pale sky, casting a soft, cool‑blue light over the scene while the gold accents catch the eye.
