Description

A tree with spreading branches leans in from the left edge of the frame. Across a wide stony, rubble-strewn plain, a line of low white and pale buildings, a few trees and a utility pole sit along the far edge, with a range of hills rising behind them under a hazy sky. Several small pale blocks stand scattered in the open ground in the middle distance.

Description, scan 2
A tree with spreading branches fills the upper left, and in front of it a wide area of bare, stony ground is crossed by faint tracks. In the middle distance a line of low buildings and trees runs across the scene beside a utility pole, with mountains rising behind them under a hazy sky. Light vertical scratches mark the print.
