An outdoor amphitheater is situated in a park with a backdrop of a large, historic stone castle atop a rugged cliff. The scene is surrounded by lush greenery with varied trees and bushes, displaying some autumn colors. The sky is clear and the sun is shining from behind the castle, casting shadows over the landscape.
