Photograph of an open dusty compound at sunrise or sunset, with a low wooded hill behind a bright sun glare. A long low shed with a corrugated roof stands in the middle, flanked by rows of tall white pillars on raised white-and-red striped bases. Two figures stand near the shed: one in a light shirt and one in white clothing, possibly ceremonial. Bamboo-like leaves frame the upper right and left, and a tall lamp post stands at the right.
