Hala Sultan Tekke mosque?, Larnaca?
Description
A wide view across still water to a low strip of dark trees and palms, with a white minaret rising above them. Large cumulus clouds fill most of the sky, and the lake's reflections and a flat, pale shore fill the foreground. A printed caption box with a title and a quotation sits in the lower right corner of the mounted page.

- A still lake fills the foreground, reflecting a dark band of trees on a low strip of land. Among the trees a small white building rises, and low hills run along the far right beneath a large bank of clouds.
