label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing view overlooking the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. In the foreground, a green and brown mountaintop gives way to succeeding hillsides that descend as they extend toward horizon. In middle distance, a mountainside features roads--one of them leads to homes. At center right, a large prominence is visible. Beyond it, morning fog inundates a valley while distant mountain ranges and the soft gradient of the morning sky comprise the background.
