This image captures an elevated view of the fortified island-village of Sveti Stefan, Montenegro, during either sunrise or sunset. The island, located in the Adriatic Sea, is densely populated with numerous multi-story stone buildings, each featuring light-colored facades and distinct terracotta-colored tile roofs. These structures are built directly upon the island's rocky terrain. A narrow, curved causeway, composed of sand and stone, connects the island to the mainland. The sea surface is calm, reflecting the warm, golden-orange light emanating from the low sun in the horizon. On the mainland in the foreground, a hillside slopes down towards the causeway, heavily vegetated with a mix of green trees, including numerous olive trees. Partially visible residential buildings with red-tiled roofs and light-colored walls are situated among the foliage in the lower portion of the image. One building on the lower right displays an external air conditioning unit and a rooftop antenna. A sandy beach curves along the mainland side of the causeway. A single small boat is moored in the water near the causeway on the right side. No individuals or specific human activities are discernibly depicted.
