A photograph taken from a flat terracotta-tiled rooftop looking out over a row of small square vents or skylights toward dense green trees, palms and a distant hill under a bright sky with cumulus clouds. On the right edge, a bald man in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl stands at the parapet, back to the camera, holding an object in one hand. Concrete walls, a blue pipe along the parapet and a few palms frame the scene.
