The image displays a coastal scene in Polignano a Mare, Italy, under a clear blue sky. A prominent landmass, composed of rugged light-brown stone cliffs, rises from the deep blue-green sea. Perched directly atop and integrated into these cliffs are numerous white, multi-story buildings typical of Mediterranean architecture, featuring flat roofs and multiple rectangular windows. The sea occupies the lower two-thirds of the frame, exhibiting visible ripples across its surface. Multiple individuals are swimming or floating in the water, with two prominently positioned in the foreground. Several small white boats are visible in the mid-distance on the left side of the sea. Clusters of people are discernible on various levels of the cliff face and on balconies of the buildings, particularly on the western-facing part of the promontory. The natural rock formations of the cliff base show erosion and contain visible openings at water level.
