Description

A wide view across scrubby, grassy ground toward the Bamboula mound, where rough pale stone blocks and earth rise in a low ridge. To the left a line of trees and bushes stands along the horizon, and on the right a tall chimney rises beside a row of white single-storey buildings with low roofs. The open sky takes up most of the frame.
