This black-and-white photograph shows a long dirt or gravel path leading up from the bottom edge towards a white church with a tall spire, arched windows, and tall, arched doors decorated with crosses. Tall grass edges the path on either side. The church is slightly above center, sitting on the horizon. The sky behind the church is a gradient of gray, darker at the top of the image and lighter at the horizon.
