A brown ink landscape drawing of wide path traveling beside a shore. The edge of the path drops straight down into a curving shoreline with two small crafts in the distance. Sets of travelers with baggage walk along the path and the sandy shore. To the left and in a haze, a steep outcropping of rock rises above the path. The top of a structure rises above a small grove of trees to the left of the outcropping. In the background, and on the opposite side of the shoreline, a wide structure sits below a broad hill.
