The image displays a rugged coastal landscape near Machico, Portugal, under an overcast sky. The upper third of the frame is dominated by a uniform, light grey cloud cover. Below this, the horizon line separates the sky from the Atlantic Ocean, which presents a deep blue-green hue with visible white surf where waves meet the coastline and surrounding isolated rock formations. The left side of the frame features a series of steep, dramatic cliffs dropping directly into the ocean. These cliffs exhibit exposed rock faces in shades of reddish-brown and grey, interspersed with dense patches of dark green vegetation. Moving right, the terrain transitions into a series of successively receding mountain slopes, entirely covered in a thick canopy of dark green trees and shrubs. The foreground, occupying the lower portion of the image, consists of a dense arrangement of wild, uncultivated vegetation. This includes thorny vines with small dark green leaves, various ferns, and other bushy plants in shades of green and some lighter brown, dry stalks, indicative of an untouched natural environment. No human subjects, structures, or artificial objects are present in the scene.
