Description

A wide panoramic view over an excavated enclosure at Ayia Irini, with low stone walls and foundations forming rooms and a cleared area in the foreground. A tent stands at the right edge beside two small figures of people. Open rolling ground with scattered trees and low hills stretches to the horizon, and a visible seam shows the view is made from joined sections.
