Description

The foreground is a broad, pale expanse of excavated limestone, with cut edges and blocks along the lower edge and a dark cut running down the right side. Beyond it, a dusty slope carries low scrub and a few trees, and a small white tent stands near the right edge. A hazy band of sea fills the horizon under a pale sky.
