Cholades, the excavated temples at Soli
Description
A broad open landscape of grass with low excavated walls and stone foundations spread across a rise in the middle distance. Spoil heaps of pale earth border the excavated area, and a small white tent stands at its right edge near the coast. Two trees sit on the skyline to the left, and the sea shows as a pale band on the right.
