A photograph of an overgrown stone wall at an ancient temple site. Tangled vines and thin bare branches cover a moss-stained sandstone wall, and a slender pale-barked tree trunk stands in front of it. Green leaves hang at the left edge. A worn stone ledge with carved edging runs along the base, with leaf litter and moss on the path. No people are visible in the scene.
