The image displays a seascape at twilight or dawn, viewed from Kadıköy, Turkey, likely facing the Marmara Sea or the entrance to the Bosphorus Strait. The sky occupies the upper third of the frame, characterized by a prominent horizontal band of golden-orange light along the horizon. This bright band is bordered by a mass of dark grey clouds above and lighter grey clouds directly below. Multiple small, dark bird silhouettes are visible against the upper cloud layer. The water, a dark blue-grey, covers the lower two-thirds of the image and exhibits a uniformly rippled surface. In the midground, towards the left, a small sailboat is present, featuring a multicolored sail primarily displaying green and white patterns, with hints of other hues. A single individual is discernible operating the sailboat. To the right of the sailboat, in the mid-distance, a large, traditional passenger ferry with multiple decks and funnels is observed. Further in the background, towards the right, two larger cargo or tanker ships appear as dark silhouettes on the distant horizon. The overall scene depicts maritime traffic under a dynamic sky.
