The scene depicts a coastal landscape at either sunrise or sunset, situated in a coastal area of Penang Island, George Town, Malaysia. The sky in the upper portion features pale grey-blue hues with wispy, elongated cloud formations, transitioning to vibrant orange and yellow near the horizon. In the left foreground, a large palm tree is silhouetted against the sky, its fronds spreading across the upper left quadrant. Attached to a dark pole near the tree's base is a yellow, triangular warning sign. The sign features a black exclamation mark symbol at the top and black text, reading "DANGER" prominently. Below this, text in both English and Bahasa Malaysia warns against swimming at night, states that swimming is at one's own risk, and advises parents to supervise children for safety. The immediate foreground consists of a dark, uneven rock breakwater or shoreline. A thin, dark pole extends diagonally from these rocks into the water. The midground is dominated by the sea, which shows a gentle ripple on its surface, reflecting the sky's orange and yellow tones. Scattered across the water are approximately ten small to medium-sized boats, including several motorboats (some with canopies, one red-hulled) and smaller vessels or jet skis. In the distant midground, above the water and between the mountains, a tiny silhouette of a parasailor is visible. The background comprises a chain of dark, silhouetted mountains or hills stretching across the horizon. The sun's bright orange and yellow glow is concentrated directly above these mountains. No individuals are visibly present in the foreground or on any of the boats.
