The image shows a dock with boats moored along the pier, their masts reaching up into the sky. The horizon is high in the background, marked by the separation between water and sky. Near the viewer, wooden planks of the pier can be seen. The boats have tarps covering them and some have visible hull numbers. In the distance, a stone statue stands on a small platform extending into the water, and there are trees to the right. The grayscale color scheme adds to the calm ambiance of the scene.
