content: Landscape sketch showing the top of Tequendama Falls near Bogotá, Colombia. The nearby cliff edge is visible at left, craggy and moss-covered. At center left, the muddy waters of the Bogotá River cascade over the edge of the cliff, tumbling down in a terrible, misty cataract that produces an arched rainbow at lower right. The opposite, heavily wooded bank of the river is visible at upper left, while the canyon's sheer, rocky face is shown at center right.
