Description

A wide view from inside a rock-cut cave mouth looking out over a hazy, hilly landscape under a cloudy sky. On the left a figure sits in silhouette on a rock ledge facing outwards, and on the right a person in a hat sits on the rock beside a coil of rope, with more rope trailing down the stone. The ground falls away in low hills and open country beyond the cave.
