A narrow paved road stretches into the distance toward a set of low-lying hills. Two small cars are rolling down the road, away from the camera. A row of telephone poles stands to the left of the road, beyond which there is a ditch and tilled fields, Fields also lie to the right, where some fruit trees pruned to grow out horizontally are visible.

A field of rice, with some stalks toppled by rain or wind, just ready for harvest. Beyond that a stone wall of perhaps two or three meters in height runs the width of the field, as a retaining wall for higher ground beyond bearing an orchard.
