A dramatic, high-angle landscape photograph of the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi's upper terrace, taken on an overcast day. In the foreground, a diagonal stone balustrade with a partial view of a large, striped courtyard with a long arched cloister on the right. A few tourists are visible. To the left, a stone building with "HOTEL SUBASIO" written on its side. Beyond the courtyard, the misty, sprawling Umbrian countryside unfolds with cultivated fields and distant towns. A flock of birds flies in a loose formation against the heavily clouded, grey sky, which has a patch of faint sunlight breaking through. The distant Apennine mountains are silhouetted against the horizon, shrouded in mist.
