In the foreground, rugged mountain ridges at left and right converge into valleys before flattening out to a plain at right. In the middle distance, the Kingston harbor is visible, protected by the tombolo of sand known as the Palisadoes, at left. Waves crash along its shores. Beyond, the Jamaica coastline extends to the horizon.
