label: Description
content: Landscape study showing a view of Mt. Katahdin, the Great Basin, and Hamlin Ridge from the northern ridge of Howes Peaks in Maine (part of the same massif as Katahdin). In the immediate foreground at left and right, rocky cliffs descend precipitously and frame the scene. In the middle distance below, the heavily wooded North Basin is shown with the dual-lobed Blueberry Pond near the lower margin at center. The exposed Hamlin Ridge is shown at center right, while the rugged northern face of Katahdin dominates the view at center. Fall colors are visible in the foliage on its lower slopes. Above, a few puffy clouds hang in an otherwise open sky.
