The image is a black and white photograph of a long wooden pier extending into the ocean. The pier appears to be old and weathered, with wooden planks sticking out of the water. The water is choppy and turbulent, with small waves crashing onto the shore. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is somber. In the foreground, there is a small person swimming in the water near the pier. The image is taken from a low angle, looking out towards the horizon.
