Description

A dirt lane runs between low whitewashed walls and flat-roofed mud-brick houses, with a dry stone wall on the left. A steep hillside covered with scrubby trees and shrubs rises behind the village. Several people stand at the right beside a white wall, and a small figure walks on the lane near a vine-covered trellis.
