The image captures a coastal scene in Nice, France, specifically depicting the entrance to Port Lympia. The foreground is partially obscured by a dark blue metal railing with vertical bars, indicating an elevated vantage point. The sky occupies the upper half of the frame, featuring a bright, intense sun positioned slightly left of center, generating significant glare and lens flare. The sky contains a mix of cirrus and cumulus clouds against a pale blue background. A small, dark, indistinct object, possibly a bird, is visible in the upper mid-right sky. The central and lower portions of the image are dominated by the shimmering, sun-dappled surface of the Mediterranean Sea. The water is dark blue-grey, intensely reflective of the sunlight. On the left midground, a prominent multi-tiered white concrete structure extends over the water. This is identifiable as the diving platform adjacent to Le Plongeoir restaurant. On the uppermost platform, a lone, dark-clad human figure stands on the edge of the diving board with arms outstretched, appearing to be in preparation for a dive or posing. Below this platform, an open-air restaurant with a light-colored fabric awning is visible. Several patrons, identifiable as dark silhouettes, are seated at tables under the awning. Below the restaurant, rocky cliffs descend to the water. On the right midground, a breakwater constructed from large rock boulders extends into the sea, forming the outer boundary of the harbor entrance. At the end of this rock breakwater stands the Phare de Nice (Nice Lighthouse), a slender, light-colored cylindrical tower with a dark top section. Beyond the lighthouse, a solid grey quay wall continues into the distance, behind which several vertical masts of moored boats are faintly visible within the harbor. The horizon line bisects the upper third of the image, where the sea meets the sky.
