content: Landscape sketch showing a view of a distant Chimborazo looming over a house (or farm or hacienda) in Guanujo, Ecuador. A group of bushes strewn with flowers is visible in the immediate foreground at lower right. Across a relatively flat expanse, multiple terra cotta roofed buildings are shown within a fence with a group of trees beside it at right. A group of four individuals is visible in front of the complex at center, while a solitary figure is shown further to the left with a dark cow at extreme left. In the background, the dormant stratovolcano known as Chimborazo looms over a rugged mountain range that stretches across the horizon.
