Description

A wide dirt road runs across the lower half of the photograph toward a garden of palm trees, cacti and bushy trees. Behind them stands a long low white building with a pitched tiled roof and several chimneys, with more houses at the left edge. A wooden frame or bench lies at the bottom left corner, and the sky is pale and empty.

Description, scan 2
A wide unpaved track runs across the foreground, with a broken wooden frame lying at the lower left. Behind a low wall and a dense band of bushy trees, palms and prickly-pear cacti stands a long white building with a pitched roof and chimneys. Tall palms rise on the right under an open sky.
