A serene, multi‑tier waterfall cascades over moss‑covered volcanic rocks in a shaded Vosges forest. In the foreground, fresh spring blooms of white butterbur (Petasites albus) rise from the damp bank, their starry flower heads catching soft backlight. The long exposure renders the water as silky veils flowing through the ravine, while surrounding greenery—mosses and young leaves—signals early spring. Likely location: the Frankenthal–Missheimle cirque near Hohneck in the Vosges Mountains, Alsace, France. No people or buildings are present; the scene communicates calm, cleansing tranquility and a rejuvenating spring mood. Photo copyrighted by Hans Enderl.
