A rushing, white-capped river flows over rocks through a steep forested valley in the hills. On the far bank stands a cluster of multi-storey concrete buildings with flat roofs, some painted pink, white and blue, with shop signs and a partly collapsed metal footbridge crossing the water. Dense green trees and shrubs cover the hillside behind the town, and power lines run across the scene. No people are visible.
