Description
Photograph of buildings along side a road. A open sided kiosk with a Chinese style tile roof and six pillars, a shed with items for sale, a pagoda on a hill that is in disrepair make up this roadside scene. Soldiers sit on a bench on the left side of the photo and another man, possibly the businessman with items for sale, stands facing his shed on the right side of the photo. The pagoda, on the hill in the background, has five levels and is somewhat crumbling with trees sprouting from the crevices.
