A concrete hut sits on overgrown grass somewhere wild. The shelter has a steeply sloping roof, slanting down from a sharp apex on the far left. of the image. Bright sunlight coming from directly behind the shelter makes a shadow that reaches towards the front of the picture. To the right of the shelter an uneven edge to the land and the prow of a small boat imply there is ocean beyond. The shelter has a doorway open in the left half of the visible wall. It is dark inside, just about possible to make out rough brickwork, and something like a bunch of drying herbs hanging from the lintel. On the expanse of concrete wall to the right of the doorway, crude chalk writing reads "you'll know what to do"
