Army Base Seen from Across a River
Image
View down slope towards shoreline. On the opposite side of the river is an army base and portions of a small town. In the distance there is a cupola of a Russian Orthodox church. There is a wooden bridge across the river, and soldiers are standing on it. Some of the soldiers appear to be wearing British uniforms. In the background beyond the bridge is a person with a boat.
