The image captures Stearns Wharf in Santa Barbara, California, United States, viewed from the water on an overcast day. The lower half of the frame consists of dark green-blue water with moderate surface ripples and vertical reflections of the pier pilings; a faintly visible coiled object, possibly a rope or cable, is present in the lower-center water. The midground features the pier structure, composed of a dark wooden deck supported by numerous dark vertical pilings. Positioned centrally on the pier is a multi-story building, primarily light gray/green with a green roof, exhibiting multiple windows and an outdoor dining area. To the left of this building, a tall white flag mast stands, displaying an indistinct flag. Several small, indistinct human figures are visible walking or standing on the pier deck. The background shows distant green vegetation on the left shoreline and sparse palm trees further along the pier to the right. The sky is uniformly light gray and overcast.
