Outdoor photo of a garden path lined with dark grey stone sculptures in a tropical setting. On the left, a row of standing stone figures, some with arms folded, stands before an orange-red brick wall. In the centre, a large dark stone shivalingam rises from a round stone yoni-shaped pedestal bowl. On the right, a row of seated stone figures with headdresses sits along the path, partly hidden by flowering plumeria foliage. Palm trees and broad leaves frame the scene, and split firewood lies in a pile at the lower right beside a red and white kerbstone edge.
