An elevated, wide-angle photograph presents a panoramic view of the city of Nice, France, observed during either sunrise or sunset. The scene is framed on the left, right, and bottom by dark, silhouetted foliage from various trees and shrubs. The midground reveals a densely constructed urban environment, characterized by numerous multi-story buildings featuring terracotta-red tiled roofs and facades primarily in cream, yellow, and beige tones. Two distinct church steeples are visible: one prominently on the left-mid with a white clock tower and an orange-tiled roof, and another further right with a darker, conical roof. The background consists of distant, undulating hills dotted with additional residential structures, gradually fading into atmospheric haze. The sky is partially cloudy, with a bright, low sun on the far left emitting strong, warm light and distinct crepuscular rays through a break in the clouds. Clouds near the sun display orange and pink hues, transitioning to darker grey-blue clouds towards the right of the frame. A faint aircraft contrail is present in the upper right sky. No individuals, specific actions, or interactions are discernible within the frame.
