Description

A village of white houses and a few larger buildings spreads across the lower slopes of a rocky mountain ridge, among dense green trees and tall thin trees. A pale rock outcrop rises on the right, and a single small figure sits on the ground at its foot. Cloud fills much of the sky above the valley.
