This image depicts a coastal scene at the Old Port of Nice, France, looking towards the harbor entrance. The sun, high in the upper left quadrant, casts a strong glare across the shimmering water, creating bright reflections. The sky above is partly cloudy with scattered, elongated white clouds against a blue backdrop. In the left foreground, a light-colored, two-story building with two rectangular windows fitted with metal bars stands above a stone-faced retaining wall. A chain-link fence tops an elevated concrete area adjacent to this building. Below the building, a concrete ramp or platform descends towards the water. A single individual is positioned prone on this concrete surface, lying on a mat or towel, appearing to sunbathe or relax. A small bag or backpack is visible near them. Dark organic debris, possibly seaweed, is scattered on the concrete. To the right, across a small cove, a multi-level stone building with arched entrances and a flat roof stands prominently. Several flags fly from poles on its roof, including the French tricolor and other maritime flags. The text "VILLE" and "AMIRAUTÉ" is partially visible on its facade. Behind this building, a large construction crane is visible, and beyond it, numerous small boats and yachts are docked within the port. The cove features a pebble beach, particularly visible in the foreground, with significant deposits of dark brown seaweed along the waterline. Rocky breakwaters define the harbor entrance, extending into the sea. A tall, slender lighthouse marks the end of a distant pier or breakwater on the horizon, guiding vessels into the port. The water in the cove appears calm and clear, revealing the seabed in shallower areas.
