label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view a of bright and warm sunset over a rolling and heavily wooded landscape. At left, a prominent group of trees frames the view of the sun's vibrant yellow-white orb at center, which glows orange and red light into the atmosphere around it. At lower center, the landscape grows faded in the distance due to atmospheric perspective. A large bank of gray clouds inhabits the sky above the sun and the break through which it shines.
