The image is a black and white photograph of a wooden pier extending into the water. The pier is made of wooden planks and extends into the distance. On the right side of the image, there is a large bird, possibly a heron, standing on the edge of the pier. The bird is facing towards the left side and appears to be looking towards the horizon. In the background, there are several wooden structures, including a bench and a tree. The water is calm and still, and the sky is overcast. The image is taken from a low angle, giving a sense of depth and perspective.
