Description

A dirt road runs between whitewashed stone houses in Lapithos, with shuttered windows and a doorway set in a wall. A bare tree and a leafy branch frame the view, and a person in light clothing leans against a tree trunk at the right edge. A low stone wall runs along the right side of the road, with more houses and trees in the background.

A dirt road runs between a whitewashed two-storey house with shuttered windows and an arched doorway on the left, and a row of trees and low stone walls on the right. A man in light clothing leans against a tree trunk at the right edge, and further along the street more low whitewashed buildings and trees recede into the distance.
