Description

Excavated stone foundations of Temple E at Cholades seen from the west, with low walls and flat slabs forming rooms across the middle and foreground. Narrow rail tracks run across the dig on the left, where several workers stand near a wheeled cart. Open excavated ground gives way to rolling hills and a flat expanse in the distant background.
