Description
Landscape and atmosphere sketch of a rainstorm over the mountains of Jamaica. Dark clouds pour rain in two distinct columns--at center and right--over a rugged brown topography. Storm clouds shade most of landscape, which features a large mountainside at right that descends toward a small vale at center. Rugged mountain ridges visible at left extend into the dark background.
