A wide-angle, high-angle view captures the coastal town of Polignano a Mare, Italy, under clear daylight conditions. The foreground on the left is dominated by a multi-story, white Mediterranean-style building perched directly on a rugged, stratified limestone cliff that descends into the sea. Visible architectural features include multiple windows, some with dark shutters, and a lower balcony with a white balustrade holding planters containing pink flowers. Across a expanse of vibrant turquoise-blue water, the midground reveals a series of extensive, layered limestone rock formations forming a natural shoreline. Numerous indistinct human figures are dispersed across these rocky platforms and on the elevated, dry, light-brown land behind them. A light-colored staircase or path is visible, descending from the higher ground towards the rocky area. Further back on the elevated land, additional white buildings, typical of the region, comprise a segment of the town. The right midground and background consist predominantly of the turquoise sea, where white foam indicates waves breaking against the rocky coastline. The coast extends into the distance, showing additional rock formations and sparse structures. Several small, light-colored boats are discernible in the far-off water near the horizon. The upper section of the image is filled with an unblemished, clear blue sky, suggesting bright, sunny weather.
