Description

A pine branch with needles fills the upper part of the view, framing a landscape of rough hillside. A dirt path runs across the foreground past low scrub, and scattered stones lie on the slope of a rounded hill. Beyond the ridge the land fades into pale haze.

Description, scan 2
A thick pine branch arches across the top of the frame, its needles hanging over a dirt path that runs through low scrub and loose stones. Beyond the path a grassy, rocky ridge rises and drops away into a pale, hazy sky and distant sea. No people or excavation are visible.
