view from the coastal forest in Makarska, Croatia

view from the coastal forest in Makarska, Croatia. The camera is pointed toward the Adriatic Sea, with a mountain range in the distance. The foreground is dominated by a thick pine tree trunk, its branches forming a frame around the view. Behind the trunk are the bare branches of a smaller tree, with pinecones hanging from them. The sea is a calm blue with a slight ripple. A handful of white clouds drift across the sky, which is mostly blue. The scene is captured from a low angle, emphasizing the scale of the trees and the expanse of the sea and mountains.
