label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing oblique view of sloping ridges and hazy, golden atmosphere in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. In foreground, succeeding steep slopes extend into middle distance. The hazy atmosphere renders distant mountains as faint silhouettes. Sun's golden light is divided into several subtle crepuscular rays by storm clouds above. The coastline and harbor of Kingston is visible at extreme left.
