| Description: | A snow-covered stratovolcano stands majestically in the center under a cloudless blue sky. In the foreground, a steep cliff rises to the left; at its base is a grove of tall conifers behind a group of boulders; a snag lies across one boulder. On the right, a little farther away, is a larger grove of conifers and two more, leaning, snags. Beyond the snags is a tepee with three Indians, one dressed in blue. Wild flowers dot the lower part of the foreground slope. A river or a lake, is visible in the distance in the center; six birds are in flight silhouetted against the mountain.
