Description

A wide view across cultivated strips of fields and rough scrub towards a rising hill on the right. A single tree stands in the middle of the fields, and a small building with trees sits at the left edge beside a bright stretch of water. A dark animal grazes in the fields, and low hills rise in the far distance under a pale sky.
