Description

A wide stream runs through the middle of the frame, its banks strewn with mud, debris and scattered stones in the foreground. Behind a low wall on the left stand two white single-storey buildings with pitched roofs, half hidden by bushes and trees. Tall, slender trees line the right bank, their trunks rising above a dark, eroded slope.
