content: Landscape and atmosphere sketch showing a view in Ecuador of rugged terrain with the volcano Sangay erupting in the distance. Mountainside in foreground at right descends into the center of the composition, where it meets another rocky prominence in the foreground at left. In the distance, Sangay erupts and spews smoke and debris into the sky, mixing with the clouds, and producing a tumultuous atmosphere. Framing lines surround the image.
