- Description
- View of Cathedral Mountain. The triangular shape of Cathedral Mountain is seen in the background a little to the left of centre. The higher areas of rock are mainly violet-grey, while the lower slopes of loose rock are coloured violet-grey mixed with brick-red and ochre. Snow is blue-grey. A cloud found behind Cathedral Mountain parallels the slope of the mountain's right side, and tapers off on the left side of the peak. A second cloud is found in the upper right corner. A valley can be seen in front of the mountain. The side of the valley sloping down from the right side is much larger than the left side. The valley's sides are covered in green grass and areas of dark brown and dark green forest. The base of the valley is indicated by a thin strip of ochre (with touches of orange and brick-red).
