It's a little lacking in focus, as the vast majority of the frame is taken up by grass and a brick retaining wall and the building in the centre is a little obscured, but I suspect that short of getting an aerial view of the site, it's not going to be possible to do better. One idea for reducing the aspect ratio would be to crop the wall to the right of the central path, just before the white sign. I don't see anything notable beyond that point in the image, just more wall. I don't think the composition would suffer for it.

Right, Ratu Boko is the entire complex (though all must pass through the gate/this area, hence "approach to..."). It's traditionally referred to as a
