Description

A narrow passage cut into the ground runs up from the foreground toward open sky, with dark earth walls shadowed on both sides. The floor of the passage rises in a series of broad, sunlit steps, and a few small tufts of grass show near the top edge. Small dark marks appear far up at the top of the slope.
