label: Description
content: Landscape and atmosphere sketch showing a view of a radiant sunset (or sunrise) over heavily wooded terrain. In the foreground at lower left, a group of treetops catch the warm light of the sun, which is positioned at center above an undulating horizon of trees. It radiates an orange-pink glow from its hot white center that dissipates into the otherwise hazy blue sky. Light, wispy clouds are visible throughout the sky.
