Description

A trench has been dug into the hillside at the Vouni palace, exposing a long stone wall face on the left and a cleared, pale floor in the foreground. Loose stones and scrubby bushes cover the slope behind, with a small white tent near the top right and hills fading into haze beyond. No people are working in the view.
