Description

A dusty village street runs between flat-roofed houses and high walls of mud brick and rough stone. A woman in a dark dress and headscarf walks along the left edge carrying a pale bundle, while a man in shorts and a hat stands in the road with his back to the camera. A scrubby hillside rises behind the houses.

Description, scan 2
A dirt village street runs between plastered mud-brick walls and rough stone walls. A woman in a long dark dress and headscarf walks away on the left, carrying a small bag, while a man in shorts, shirt and hat stands in the lane with his back to the camera. Flat-roofed houses stand on the slope, with a shrub-covered hillside rising behind them.
