How do type the div in this code challenge?

Is the code supposed to look like the first two-part of the challenge?

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
h1 {
  font-size: 62px;
}

img {
  margin-bottom: 20px;
};

div {
  padding: 15px;
};
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Basic Selectors Challenge</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
      <img src="mtn-landscape.jpg" alt="foggy mountains">
    </header>
    <div>

Hi Patrick,

Yes, it looks the same. What's throwing you off is the semi-colon after the curly braces. For some reason it works after the second part of the challenge, but doesn't after the third. Just take them out and it'll pass.

Hope this helps.
