Description

Tall ruined walls rise above a large pointed arch and a vaulted section, with narrow window openings pierced through the masonry. A long, low stone wall runs across the foreground beside a dirt track, and a bicycle leans against it at right. Three people stand close to the base of the ruin at the left edge, and palm trees appear beyond the walls under a pale sky.
