Genre/Subject Matter:
This panoramic landscape view of a scene near Bushire [Būshehr] shows a flat plain with mountains in the background at left. A camp of white tents of varying sizes takes up the foreground at left; behind them a plantation of palms extend beyond the scene at far left. As the sun is setting at right, it seems likely that the view is roughly southwards.
