The image displays a daytime view of the coastal area in Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy, focused on the Hotel Metropole. In the foreground, calm blue-green water contains a small rock formation where approximately six seagulls are perched or floating. Adjacent to the water, a line of dark grey rocks separates the sea from a red-orange retaining wall and promenade. On this promenade, an estimated 15-20 individuals are present, some seated at outdoor tables under awnings, others standing or walking. The central subject is the Hotel Metropole, a four-story building directly behind the promenade. It features a distinctive red lower section and a yellow upper section with numerous windows fitted with dark green shutters. The name "METROPOLE" is prominently displayed in white capital letters on its roofline. To the left of the Metropole, a darker building with a red roof is partially visible. The background rises steeply to a lush green hillside, densely covered with various trees, primarily umbrella pines and cypress trees. Numerous multi-story buildings, ranging in color from beige to light yellow and pink, are interspersed among the foliage on the hillside. The sky is clear and bright blue, indicating sunny conditions.
