Description

A large, steep, roughly conical hill dominates the middle of the view, its sides marked by horizontal bands and rows of low scrub or trees. In the foreground a pale dirt track curves across dry, sparsely vegetated ground, and distant hills line the horizon under a plain sky. No people or animals are visible.
