The image depicts a coastal scene in Abrau-Dyurso, Russia, under an overcast sky at what appears to be either dawn or dusk. In the immediate foreground, a set of reddish-brown speckled granite steps curves downwards towards the beach. These steps show evidence of dampness and have small pebbles scattered across their surfaces. A matching granite retaining wall borders the left side of the steps. The midground features a wide expanse of grey pebble beach, where calm, grey-blue water meets the shore with small, breaking white waves. In the background, the sea stretches towards a distant, hazy mountainous coastline, partially obscured by clouds or fog. Numerous artificial lights from a city or port are visible along this distant shore, and several ships or boats are discernible on the horizon. No individuals or specific activities are present in the frame.
