Description:
Landscape sketch showing a view of the steep coastline around St. Ann's Bay on Cape Breton Island, Canada. Viewed from the water's surface, which extends from the foreground to the middle distance, the coastline of St. Ann's Bay or Cape Ann rises abruptly out of the water and forms several rolling ridges across the horizon at left and right. In the distance at center, a shorter, sharp prominence is visible.
