Description

Taken from a rise above a dry, stony hillside, the view runs across rubble and scattered stones toward a cluster of low buildings and walls. In the foreground a large stone block stands beside a dirt track, with flat stones lying across the path. On the left a tree grows on the slope, and one small figure stands near the middle left. Low hills rise under a pale sky.

English
