Description

A wide dirt road runs past a large stone building with arched doorways and small windows. Behind it, a white building with a dome and a slender tower rises above low flat-roofed houses. On the left, a wooden cart stands on a grassy slope with shrubs, and one person in light clothing and a hat stands at lower right beside a heap of rubble.

A dusty unpaved road curves through a town past a large stone building with arched openings and a domed roof, with a tall slender tower behind it. Low flat-roofed houses and walls line the street, and a small wheeled object lies on the rough ground in the left foreground. A single person in a light suit and hat stands at the bottom right edge.
