Description

A narrow, deep cutting with steep rock walls on both sides runs up toward the top of the frame, where a pale sky shows above. Its floor rises as a series of stepped treads cut into the pale earth, with dark shadowed risers. No people are in view, and the surface is dusty and somewhat worn.
