The image is a black and white photograph of a wooden pier extending into the ocean. The pier is made of wooden beams and has a small cabin on top of it. The cabin has a balcony and a railing on the left side. On the right side of the pier, there is a large sailboat that is partially submerged in the water. The sky is cloudy and the ocean is choppy with waves crashing against the shore. The photograph is taken from a low angle, looking out towards the horizon. The overall mood of the image is somber and desolate.
