Black and white photograph of a large body of water with a boat in the middle. A large cliff face dominates the background. The cliff face has layers of rock visible. Carved into the cliff face are four large statues and several smaller ones. The statues are lined up in a row. A small strip of land with trees on it sits between the cliff face and the water. The sky above is blank and featureless. A small boat sits in the water to the left of the main carvings. The photograph has a thick black border around it. The border is thicker on the left and right sides.
