Description

A wide view across a bay of rippled water toward a headland with rocky, scrubby hills rising behind it. A low rocky outcrop with boulders sits at the right edge of the bay, and a flat strip of land runs along the shoreline beneath the hills. Scrub and a few small trees dot the slopes, and the sky is pale and overcast.

Description, scan 2
A wide view over a calm, grey sea toward a steep, wooded headland that curves along the shoreline. A rocky outcrop juts into the water on the right, and a flat, cultivated strip runs along the foot of the hills. The sky is pale and cloudy, and a distant range of hills fades into haze on the left.
