content: Landscape and architecture sketch showing a view of a large, domed church in Mexico, backdropped by a large, rugged mountain. In the middle distance at center left, the church's immense dome bulges out of a complex of other church structures. Treetops or bushes are visible around the bases of these buildings. In the background at center left, a large, wide mountain with three sharp peaks backdrops the dome, while at center right, a shorter, flatter mountain is visible.
