A dusty road runs between a tall rock face on the left and a steep, scrubby hillside on the right. An old motor car stands on the road with a man in light clothing beside it, and a second figure is partly visible among bushes at the foot of a tall palm. Terraced slopes and scattered trees climb the hills in the background.
