A long red-brick terrace or rooftop walkway stretches toward the horizon, bordered on both sides by low parapet walls with turned pillars and a yellow-washed boundary wall. Along the far end stand several small white domed shrine structures with carved pillars and finials, surrounded by green trees and palm trees under an overcast pale sky. Scattered dry sticks lie on the bricks in the foreground. No people are visible; the scene shows only architecture and landscape of a temple precinct.
