Description

A wide view across rough, open ground in the Mesaoria, with clumps of tall grass and low plants with pale flower spikes in the foreground. Dense dark scrub runs along the right side, and a few tall, narrow trees stand on the left and in the distance. The sky is pale and empty above a flat, open dip in the middle distance.

Low grass and tufts of spiky-leaved plants with pale flower spikes cover the foreground. Dense shrubs and tall conifer-like trees line the left and right sides, and a stretch of bare, lighter ground opens between them in the middle distance under a pale sky.
