Description

A pale rock slab forms a flat roof over two upright pillars of rock, with dark openings on either side and beneath it cut into the ground. Sandy ground with low scrub runs back to a calm sea and a faint coastline at the top of the picture. No people or tools are visible, and the view is taken from slightly above.
