Description

A narrow channel cut into the bedrock runs diagonally across the frame, with its edges lined by worked stone and a flat, pale surface on the left. Low stone walls stand in the middle distance beside a shrub, and rolling hills fade into haze at the top of the image, where a pale area may be water. No people are shown.
