This image captures a coastal scene in Ciudad de la Costa, Uruguay, focusing on ocean waves under natural daylight. A prominent wave is breaking in the foreground, characterized by a crest of white foam and turbulent spray. The water immediately surrounding this breaking wave is a dark grey-brown, transitioning to a deeper blue-grey in the mid-ground where successive, smaller waves are visible receding towards the horizon. The immediate foreground consists of wet, dark brown sand partially covered by a thin layer of white, frothy water from receding waves. The sky, visible in the upper portion of the frame, is a clear, light blue with sparse white stratocumulus clouds concentrated near the distant horizon. No human subjects, animals, or artificial structures are present.
