This print features a series of vertical rectangles and elongated lines, surrounded by curved areas on both sides. The shape gives the impression of tall, white buildings rising up out of a large, curved mountain. On the left side, a black line that looks like a road curves around and into the middle of the buildings. Between the two rows of buildings is a dark vertical line, which could be another, wider road, or possibly the side of the mountain. A small palm tree is visible in the top left corner of the mountain. The print is in shades of gray.
