The color-impressions, the glittering, the shining and the strong contrasts of the gems are abducting  the viewer and are bringing him to the valley of the bird named Rock. Like Sindbad on its second journey he is surrounded by crystals and jewels. No answer is given to the tourist, who is asking the question about the value of  things  - however the feeling that he is regarding here unique treasures is overwhelming him too.
