The image depicts an elevated view of the city of Funchal, Portugal, extending down a hillside to the Atlantic Ocean. In the immediate foreground, large, vibrant green palm fronds partially obscure the upper left and top of the frame. Sunlight filters through these fronds from the left, creating a distinct starburst effect. Below the palm foliage, dense green shrubbery and broad-leafed plants are visible, illuminated by the low sun. The midground reveals a sprawling urban landscape composed primarily of residential buildings with terracotta-tiled roofs and light-colored facades, interspersed with roads and smaller patches of greenery. This cityscape descends towards the coastline. The background features the Atlantic Ocean, presenting a dark blue-grey hue under a partly cloudy sky. A bright, vertical sun glint is visible on the distant ocean surface. The sky exhibits a mix of light, illuminated cumulus clouds and darker, heavier cloud formations towards the horizon, with patches of clear blue sky visible. The overall lighting suggests either early morning or late afternoon. No people or animals are present in the scene.
