An aerial view captures the dramatic white chalk cliffs of Étretat, France, a natural arch formation known as L'Aiguille (The Needle), jutting out into the vibrant turquoise sea. The sea is moderately choppy, with white-capped waves lapping against the base of the cliffs and the small, pebble beach nestled within the cove. Green vegetation, interspersed with greyish-white plants, carpets the tops and slopes of the cliffs. Two individuals stand on the edge of the right cliff, silhouetted against the vast expanse of the ocean, appearing to observe the view. In the distance, the horizon is marked by the calm sea and a sky with scattered white clouds against a pale blue background. A bird in flight is visible in the upper left quadrant of the sky.
