The scene depicts an inlet or bay in Ha Tu Ward, Vietnam, under an overcast sky. In the foreground, a grey concrete embankment with a honeycomb pattern slopes down to a rocky, muddy shoreline. A small, light-colored, weathered wooden structure is partially submerged near this edge. The dark green water contains multiple small to medium-sized vessels. In the mid-ground, a cluster of three boats is moored; two are predominantly green-hulled with lighter green canopies, one featuring red and blue accents, accompanied by a darker, smaller vessel. Further to the right, a blue-hulled boat with a light blue canopy and a smaller, light blue and white skiff are present. To the far left, a larger dark-hulled boat with a light canopy is also moored. The far shore consists of a narrow, dark, muddy strip of land with sparse dry vegetation, leading to a series of large, steep limestone karst mountains densely covered in green vegetation, which dominate the background. A small, light-colored structure is partially visible among the vegetation at the base of the mountains on the far shore. No individuals are visible.
