The image displays the Turkish national flag, red with a white star and crescent, unfurled from a silver-colored flagpole positioned in the foreground. The flagpole is topped with a crescent finial. The sky behind the flag transitions from light blue at the top to orange and yellow at the horizon, indicating dusk or dawn, with scattered clouds. The lower half of the image depicts the choppy, dark blue-green waters of the Bosphorus Strait. Two boats are visible on the water: a dark-hulled motorboat creating a wake as it moves from left to right in the mid-distance, and a smaller, light-colored vessel stationary further to the right. Across the strait, the coastline of Istanbul's European side, specifically the Beyoğlu district, is visible. A prominent, large, light-colored building, consistent in appearance with Dolmabahçe Palace, stretches along the immediate shoreline. Behind this structure, the urban landscape of Beyoğlu ascends a hill, densely populated with various buildings. Distant domes and minarets are discernible on the skyline against the fading light. No specific individuals are identifiable within the frame.
