The image displays the Mrtvi kanal (Dead Canal) in Grad Rijeka, Croatia, viewed from a stone-paved quay on the western bank, looking generally north-northeast. The foreground features approximately two dozen small boats moored along the quay, predominantly covered with white or dark grey tarpaulins. Several boats exhibit visible outboard motors. The tranquil water surface of the canal reflects a prominent, bright circular sun positioned low in the upper right quadrant of the sky. This reflection forms a shimmering pathway across the water. On the opposite (eastern) bank, a continuous line of multi-story urban buildings with varied facades and pitched roofs stretches into the background. Bare deciduous trees are interspersed along this bank, separating the buildings from the canal edge. Pedestrians are visible walking on the sidewalk of the eastern bank, with a green-roofed bus stop shelter centrally located on this side. Storefronts are discernible on the ground levels of some buildings. In the far left background, a distinctive building with a large, light-colored dome is prominent, consistent with the Palace of Justice. The sky is a hazy, light grey, with scattered cloud formations. Two small, dark avian figures are visible in flight near the sun in the upper right portion of the image. The overall lighting suggests late afternoon.
