Description

Low stone foundations and wall lines of an excavated structure fill the foreground, with rough cut edges and pale earth between the blocks. A single tree stands at the left edge on a ridge, and a spoil heap of rubble and earth rises behind the ruins. Distant hills and a small shrub are visible on the right under a bright, empty sky.

Description, scan 2: Low stone walls and foundations of an excavated structure at Vouni lie on bare, stony ground in the foreground, some with rounded boulders among them. Rubble walls continue across the middle distance, with mounds of excavated earth along the rise behind. A single tree stands at the left edge, and rounded hills fill the horizon under an empty sky.
