Description, scan 2
A stony unpaved track runs up towards a small stone building with a flat roof, half hidden by shrubs and trees. A dry-stone wall of rough rubble stones runs along the right side, and a tall dark tree overhangs the path. Behind, a steep bare hillside with scattered trees rises to a pale sky.
