Description

A photograph taken through a tall pointed stone arch, looking down a slope onto a village of pale, flat-roofed houses among dense trees. A steep hillside rises on the left, and a tall slender tower stands among the houses. Beyond the village, a flat plain stretches to a distant horizon under a cloudy sky, with a pale stony terrace in the foreground.
