Description

A ruined stone building with a collapsed upper section and a dark arched opening stands on the left of the view. Low dry scrub and dry-stone walls spread across the middle ground, and a large pale rock fills the foreground. Beyond the land, a band of deep blue sea runs along the horizon under a clear sky.

English
