The image portrays a busy waterfront promenade in Beyoğlu, Istanbul, Turkey, under an overcast sky exhibiting altocumulus cloud formations with several gulls in flight. The perspective is from the promenade, looking across a body of water towards the opposing urban shore. In the foreground, a person wearing a dark hooded jacket and dark trousers walks away from the viewer, carrying a black briefcase in their left hand. The promenade is paved with light-colored rectangular blocks and extends into the distance, populated by approximately 30-50 pedestrians. Individuals are walking in both directions; a notable figure in the midground is an elderly woman in a dark coat and headscarf, walking towards the viewer and utilizing a single crutch in her left hand while carrying a striped tote bag. Another pedestrian in a dark hoodie with "MVJNS" visible on the back walks away from the viewer. To the left of the promenade, a low stone barrier separates the walkway from the water. Several individuals are seated on two visible wooden benches along this barrier, facing the water. Black, ornate streetlights are spaced along the waterfront. To the right, a series of multi-story buildings line the promenade. Ground-level establishments feature red awnings and display merchandise. Green construction netting covers a section of a building further down the street. The body of water, likely the Golden Horn or Bosphorus, exhibits surface choppiness. The opposing shore in the background reveals a dense cityscape dominated by large mosque complexes with multiple domes and numerous minarets. A prominent bridge, consistent with the Galata Bridge, spans the water, with vessels visible on the water near it.
