The image is a black and white photograph of a beach scene. The photograph is taken from a low angle, looking up at the sky. The sky is filled with dark, ominous clouds, and the sun is shining through them, casting a warm glow over the scene. In the center of the image, there is a long wooden pier extending into the ocean. On the left side of the pier, there are several people walking on the beach, some of them are sitting on the sand, while others are walking towards the pier. The pier itself is made of wood and has several small buildings and structures on it. The overall mood of the photograph is somber and desolate.
