Description

A wooden staircase with a railing climbs a dusty slope beside a low building with a tiled roof and a whitewashed wall. Behind it, a larger whitewashed two-storey building with water tanks on its roof stands on the crest of a rocky, scrubby hillside. A tall wooden utility pole with a lamp stands at the right edge.
