Description

A large pale block of rock stands on a rise, and a group of about a dozen men in shirts and caps gathers in front of it. A heap of loose rubble and earth lies in the foreground, with dry grass and scrub on the slope. Pale rock faces continue to the right, and one figure stands at the far left edge.

Description, scan 2: A large rock outcrop rises above a low ridge of pale, broken ground, with a rough spoil heap of loose earth and stones in the foreground. A group of about a dozen men stands before the rock face, some in caps and light shirts, while others bend and crouch at its base and along the right edge. Grass grows in patches across the stony ground under a hazy sky.
