The image displays a coastal scene in Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel, specifically depicting the historic city of Jaffa (Yafo) from the perspective of the Mediterranean Sea. The upper third of the frame is sky, transitioning from a dark gray on the left to a bright, hazy off-white on the right, indicative of a low sun obscured by atmospheric conditions. A horizontal band of streaky clouds is visible across the middle of the sky. The middle ground features the dark silhouette of the Jaffa landmass, rising from the sea. This elevated area shows numerous buildings, including the prominent steeple of St. Peter's Church situated on the right side of the landmass. Scattered dark-toned vegetation is discernible on the hillside. The lower two-thirds of the image consists of the sea, characterized by active waves. Multiple wave crests are visible, with white foam and spray prominent in the immediate foreground where a wave is breaking, and along the distant shoreline. No human figures are present within the frame. Faint, indistinct forms, possibly small vessels or buoys, are visible on the distant horizon line to the right of the Jaffa silhouette. The scene is strongly backlit, rendering the landmass and foreground water in dark tones against the bright, hazy sky.
