A painting in the style of Dali. viewed from a high hilltop a cobbled track leads down to a large chequerboard of white and black marble squares standing on a barren plain. a collection of ladders, of different shape and size, lie flat on the chequerboard. A variety of brightly coloured snakes slither and coil between the ladders. In the distance the top of a single tall, twisted spire reaches high into a faded indigo sky
