Description

A large, dark tree dominates the centre of the view, rising from a slope of scrub and rough grass. A rounded stone wall sits against the hillside on the left, and a low stone wall runs across the middle distance toward more hills and scattered trees under a hazy sky. In the foreground, a cut channel with pale exposed rock and loose stones crosses the bottom edge.
