The image depicts a coastal scene in Veracruz City, Mexico, facing the Gulf of Mexico under a partly cloudy sky. The horizon line bisects the frame horizontally. The sky, occupying approximately the upper third, transitions from a light blue near the horizon to a deeper blue at the top, featuring scattered white cirrus clouds and a few darker cumulus clouds. A faint band of pink and orange hues is visible along the horizon line. The water, covering the middle portion of the image, is dark blue-green with a rippled surface. Distant dark shapes, likely ships or offshore structures, are visible on the horizon. In the mid-ground water, several dark, slender vertical poles are sparsely distributed, along with one white and one dark-colored buoy. The foreground consists of a light-colored concrete platform, likely a pier or waterfront walkway. On the left, two black metal stanchions with railings are installed, connected by a yellow rope, and two orange circular lifebuoys are attached. On the right, a partial view of a similar black metal post with a curved top, featuring a hanging decorative element, is visible. Below this, a segment of a dark, possibly wooden, bench or structure is present. No people are visible.
