content: Landscape sketch showing a view of a partially cloudy sunset over a mountainous landscape in Ecuador. In the foreground, the water of a river reflects the light of the setting sun and extends to a heavily wooded bank in the middle distance. Two structures are situated along the bank at lower right and extreme left. A rugged mountain range comprises background at right, with a bright, cloudy sunset above. Sun beams emanate from behind a cloud at center.
