Boats are moored in a bustling harbor area, with wooden piers and a variety of vessels, including yachts and smaller boats. The water is a deep green, reflecting the light from a clear sky. Buildings line the harbor, with people walking along the waterfront, and tall masts create a dense, vertical pattern against the horizon.
