Paphos: rock-cut tombs
Positive from the glass negative
Description
Two dark rectangular openings are cut into a pale limestone outcrop on the left, with a smaller opening in the centre below a rocky ledge. Large cut blocks lie on the ground in the foreground among scattered stones and low scrub. Beyond, a flat landscape of bushes and palm trees runs to a line of sea under a bright sky, with a few buildings on the horizon.
