In the center, a large grill made of stone can be seen with kitchen gear sitting on its right, a trash can in front of it, and a wooden box, strapped on the chimney surface of the grill, labeled: "[?]", "Tenderized" and "Fruits". To its left, a picnic area with a table and a kitchen area is visible under a tent, which is sustained by ropes tied to the grill and metal poles.
