Description

A dirt track climbs towards whitewashed monastery buildings with tiled roofs, and a bell tower rises behind them. A man stands in the foreground holding a stick, while two people stand near an arched doorway in the middle distance. Dry-stone walls run along both sides of the track, and a tall pole leans across the top right corner.
