Description

A dirt road runs diagonally through the town, with a row of low buildings with domed roofs on the left and several carts parked along them. A large dark tree stands in the centre beside a white rendered house with a tiled roof, and palm trees rise behind. A stone kerb and cobbled edge run along the foreground, with pale patches on the ground that look like frost or snow.
