This image captures a wide coastal view in Machico, Portugal, under a bright, partly cloudy sky. The upper third of the frame is dominated by a clear blue sky with scattered white cumulus clouds. The foreground consists primarily of dry, golden-brown grasses and low-lying vegetation. To the right, a small, vibrant green palm-like plant is prominent, while several thistle-like plants with purple accents are visible within the dry grass on the left. The midground features reddish-brown volcanic soil and rugged, dark grey rock formations that descend towards the ocean. Two vacant wooden picnic tables with benches are visible on the reddish-brown terrain to the right of the main rock outcrop. The deep blue Atlantic Ocean occupies the mid-to-background, stretching horizontally across the frame. In the distant background, a lengthy coastline with rolling hills and mountains, appearing green and brown, extends along the horizon. Within a distant cove on the right side of the frame, multiple floating aquaculture cages are discernible on the water's surface. No human figures or discernible actions are present in the scene.
