The natural rock path veers northward and westward. Toward the north, it is even, on level ground. Toward the west, however, the rock path is uneven, covering ground which slopes downward. To the northwest, a well-kept flowerbed sits beside the path, and beyond it, a field of dark green ivy with leaves measuring about five inches across. Amidst the ivy, thin trunked trees rise up, lending an intermittant shade from their canopy of leaves. The bark of those trees is of light grey and very smooth, except where nature has chosen to peel it away in paper-thin layers. To the east, a stream of water gurgles northward. Its origin seems to be within a field of ivy, perhaps a natural spring coming up from the ground amid the vines.
