Description

Six people work on a stone-paved site at Vouni Palace, with the sea and distant hills behind them. In the foreground, wire mesh lies over fresh grey concrete beside a wooden plank and a bucket, while a woman bends over the mesh and a man stoops at the right edge. Ruined stone walls, a column drum and a carved stone piece stand in the background.
