Description

Seen in grey tones, a deep trench runs diagonally down through the excavated theatre at Soli, with a worn, flat surface on the right. Rough stone blocks and a rock face line the left and right edges, and a steep bank of earth and stones rises at the back. A small shrub or tree grows at the top left against a pale sky.
