The image presents an elevated panoramic view of the Baie des Anges in Nice, France, looking westward from a stone balustrade, likely located on Castle Hill (Colline du Château). The upper portion of the frame is filled with a sky featuring layers of stratiform and cirrus clouds. A faint white contrail extends across the upper left sky, with a small, dark object, possibly an aircraft, visible above it. The horizon line delineates the sky from the Mediterranean Sea, which appears dark blue-grey with surface ripples, occupying the mid-ground. Along the distant coastline, the urban landscape of Nice unfolds, marked by dense buildings extending to the base of low-lying hills. In the lower right foreground, a female individual, wearing a white tank top and dark trousers, is leaning with her left forearm on the light-colored stone balustrade. Her hair is pulled back, and her gaze is directed towards the sea and the distant city. Adjacent to her on the wall, a blue and grey public waste receptacle is partially visible, containing what appears to be discarded plastic bottles. The scene is illuminated by the soft light of late afternoon or early evening.
