content: Landscape sketch showing an imagined view of a tropical landscape with palm trees by a river, and mountains in the distance. A reflective river snakes from the foreground at lower right to the middle distance at center. In the immediate foreground at lower left, the nearby grassy bank is briefly visible. At right, a group of tall palm trees with full canopies frames a view of a distant mountain with a sharp peak in the background at center. Wispy clouds fill the sky at upper left.
