label: Description
content: Landscape and atmosphere sketch showing of a view of cloudy skies over the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. In foreground, a green slope gives way to succeeding ridges, that become hazier in the distance due to the atmospheric/aerial perspective. Above, luminously glowing storm clouds are lined in the gold and silver light of the sun. These billowing clouds comprise most of the sky, with the sun's light peeking out at top.
