This image captures a coastal scene in Cascais, Portugal, under a clear, intense blue sky. A solitary, tall palm tree with a slender, segmented trunk and a crown of green fronds, interspersed with dried brown fronds, stands centrally, leaning slightly to the right. Its shadow extends towards the foreground, indicating bright sunlight from the left. In the paved parking area of the foreground, two vehicles are visible. On the far left, the rear section of a silver or light-colored convertible car is parked, partially obscured. On the right, a white Volkswagen T-Cross SUV is parked, displaying its rear and right side. Both vehicles occupy marked parking spaces. Behind the parking area, a rustic barrier consisting of wooden posts connected by ropes or rails runs horizontally across the midground. Beyond this barrier is a narrow strip of low-lying, dry coastal vegetation, followed by the expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. The ocean surface is calm and blue, meeting a slightly hazy horizon. Multiple white sailboats are visible on the water, with at least two clearly distinguishable closer to the mid-distance. A larger cargo or container ship is present on the distant horizon towards the right. No individuals are visible in the scene.
