The image depicts a coastal sunset scene within the city of Galle, Sri Lanka, specifically featuring a section of the historic Galle Fort. The sky, occupying the upper two-fifths of the frame, transitions from a pale blue at the zenith to a golden-orange hue at the western horizon. Scattered white and grey clouds are present, with some illuminated by the setting sun. The sea dominates the left and lower-center portions, displaying a dark blue-grey color with visible small waves breaking near the shore and around submerged rocky outcrops. Two prominent, dark, rounded rock formations are visible in the water to the left of the main fort structure. Numerous smaller rocks are dispersed further into the ocean. On the right, a large, dark stone fortification, likely a bastion of the Galle Fort, extends into the water. Its upper surface is flat, featuring a stone wall or parapet along its edge. Approximately 20-30 human figures are standing on top of this structure, silhouetted against the bright horizon, facing towards the open sea. A narrow strip of sandy beach is visible at the base of the fort and along the adjacent grassy slope. The right foreground shows a verdant green grassy slope, illuminated by the warm, golden light of the setting sun. The dark foliage of a tree is partially visible on the far right edge, extending above the fort structure. The overall lighting indicates late afternoon or early evening, at sunset.
