Description

A large tree with spreading branches fills the right side, beside a whitish building with an arched wooden door and a flight of steps. On the left, a small cluster of low buildings sits among cacti and bushes, with palm trees and a flat, open plain beyond. Low mountains run across the background under a pale sky.
