"A group of determined 19th-century gold miners panning for gold in a shallow, rocky stream in the Sierra Nevada mountains during the California Gold Rush. They are wearing rugged, worn clothing and wide-brimmed hats. Sunlight filters through pine trees, casting dappled light on the scene. One miner is intensely focused on his gold pan, while another is sifting through gravel. The water is clear, revealing pebbles and glints of potential gold. The background shows a rugged, forested landscape with distant hills."
