A high-angle, wide-view photograph captures a coastal settlement in Tourlos, Greece, under clear, bright daylight. The upper third of the image is dominated by the Aegean Sea, displaying shimmering blue and turquoise hues from direct sunlight reflections, with subtle surface ripples. A small, dark boat is visible on the water towards the left, and a portion of a larger sailboat with a mast is visible at the far right edge of the water. Below the sea, a paved coastal road is visible, bordered by a strip of land. A cluster of numerous, predominantly white, cubiform buildings, characteristic of Cycladic architecture, extends from the coastline up the arid hillside. Many of these structures possess flat roofs, and several exhibit small, light-blue swimming pools. Multiple vehicles, including white cars, are parked on or adjacent to the coastal road and within the settlement. Electrical poles and power lines are visible throughout the residential area. The immediate midground shows a rocky, uneven hillside above the buildings, featuring large exposed boulders and scattered smaller rocks. Patches of dry, yellowish-brown grass and sparse scrub vegetation are present on the slope. The foreground consists of natural or terraced land covered with dry, light-brown earth and a variety of green shrubs and small trees, some with reddish-brown foliage. No individuals or active scenes are discernible within the frame.
