label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a close-up view of Tequendama Falls near Bogotá, Colombia. In the foreground, a figure stands atop one in a series of large, dark boulders at lower center. Above them, immense quatities of water pour over the rim of the cascade and send up a tumultuous plume of mist that seems to veil the entire scene. Beside the top of the falls, the heavily wooded cliff edge is visible.
