Description

Photograph taken from a raised stone terrace, with a flight of worn stone steps and low stone walls on the left and a flat, paved surface in the foreground. Beyond, a rounded headland with hills runs down to a bay, where a small rocky islet sits in the water near the centre. The sea stretches to a hazy horizon, with pale curving lines of shallows or surf on the right.

Description, scan 2: A stepped stone platform with a low wall in the left foreground looks out over a flat terrace of stone and earth. Beyond it, hills slope down to a bay, and a small rocky islet sits on the calm sea, with pale wave lines curving across the water. The sky above the horizon is pale and empty.
