Beneath a soft blue sky with streaks of gauzy clouds we are descending gently along an open ridge of fissured gray rock with a deep ravine to our right and forest to our left. Grass, small leafy plants and one small cedar are growing through cracks in the rock. A large branch of a white pine frames the scene top left. The remainder of the edge of the forest to our left is leafy trees and shrubs. Across the ravine is a rounded wooded ridge a bit taller than ours. A glimpse of a green valley with scattered buildings and a long, low wooded ridge along the horizon is visible through the opening the ravine creates between the two ridges ahead. Other than a few tree shadows across the rock, everything is bathed in bright sunshine.
