what romantic element is present in this excerpt from "rip van winkle"?

the brow of a precipice. from an opening between the trees, he could overlook all the lower country for many a mile of rich woodland. he
saw at a distance the lordly hudson, far, far below him, moving on its silent but majestic course, with the reflection of a purple cloud, or the
sail of a lagging bark, here and there sleeping on its glassy bosom and at last losing itself in the blue highlands.
