The image depicts a port scene in Papeete, French Polynesia, at either sunrise or sunset. A bright, low sun is visible on the far left, casting a golden light across the sky and creating a strong reflection on the rippled water in the foreground. Hazy, silhouetted mountains form the background, topped by scattered cumulus clouds illuminated by the low sun. In the midground, a dark-hulled cargo ship is moored, its deck laden with a pile of various materials. Behind the ship, several low-rise port buildings and utility poles are visible. To the right, three large industrial cranes stand silhouetted against the sky and mountains, one of which has a container spreader attachment hanging from its arm. No individuals are discernible in the scene.
