content: Landscape and architecture sketch showing a view of a wooden bridge and buildings in Honda, Colombia. Viewed from the bank of the Magdalena River, or one of its tributaries that intersects at Honda, an arched, wooden bridge spans a river or wide stream whose banks have been walled up. Moss and other sparse vegetation grows from these walls. On the opposite side of the bridge at left, a large building with a terra cotta tiled roof is visible. At right, the nearby bridge support is outlined in graphite.
