The image captures a coastal scene in Veracruz City, Mexico, during sunrise or sunset. The sun, a bright, intense circular light source, is positioned low on the horizon, slightly left of center, dominating the pale yellow-orange and light grey sky with scattered clouds. A strong, vertical path of shimmering sunlight reflects directly onto the calm, grey-blue water of the open sea. In the mid-ground, a dark, irregular breakwater composed of rocks or concrete forms a barrier, extending horizontally across the frame and separating the open sea from a narrower, reflective body of water in the immediate foreground. The lower portion of the image features concrete man-made structures. On the left, a set of concrete stairs with metallic handrails descends into shadow. A thin, dark vertical pole extends upwards from the concrete wall bordering the water on this side. On the right, the upper section of a concrete building or shelter is visible, characterized by a flat roof that appears wet or reflective, and a shadowed side revealing a dark rectangular opening, possibly a window or door. Positioned on a lower concrete ledge adjacent to this structure, a dark, quadruped animal, likely a dog, is silhouetted, facing rightward towards the water. The foreground elements are largely in shadow, contrasting with the bright horizon and sun-drenched water.
