Description, scan 2: A close view looking straight down into crumbly grey-brown soil with small stones and fragments. Dark, lumpy clusters in the upper left and centre may be pine cones, though they blend into the earth. Pale earth runs along the top edge, and a group of flat stones sits in the upper right.
