Description

Tall, slender trees with thin trunks and sparse upper foliage frame the view in the foreground. Beyond a bare, cleared expanse of ground runs a long low wall, with a two-storey building with a pitched roof at the right edge. Further back are more trees, palms and low buildings under a hazy sky.

Description, scan 2
Tall, slender trees frame the foreground, and bare ground strewn with stones runs toward a long low wall across the middle distance. Behind the wall stand palms and other trees, and on the right a two-storey building with a pitched roof and a smaller building beside it. The sky above is pale and clear, and no people are in view.
