A range of foothills, also darkened by shadow, is included in front of the range. Flat terrain comprises foreground and middle distance.

In the background at left, a tall, sharp peak with a long ridge is shown beside an even more distant mountain at right. Mountain at left likely Nevado de Toluca.
