label: Description
content: Landscape study showing a view of Pamola Peak (a subsidiary of Katahdin) from the eastern shore of one of the nearby Basin Ponds in Maine. The water's rippling surface stretches from the foreground to the middle distance, where the pond's heavily wooded western shoreline is visible. An evergreen forest continues through the middle distance, until the terrain rises to the exposed eastern ridge of Pamola Peak. The peak itself is darkened in shadow by heavy clouds above, which entirely obscure Katahdin's peak peak--shown in the background at right.Along the upper margin, patches of blue sky are visible beyond the clouds.
