Orientation
This is an A4 piece of white paper horizontally orientated with a landscape picture of what appears to be a beach at the moment of the tide. The dimensions of the photo are approximately 15 cm by 10 cm. The sea is visibly turbulent with a combination of white, grey and yellow colors. The swash zone is covered with sediments and sand from the sea. The tide appears to approach a large well-defined stone of approximate dimensions 3 cm by 2 cm in the centre of the photo. Behind this stone, there is almost the same size stone which is partly engulfed by the oncoming waves. Extending from the front centre of the photo, there is clear, yellow sand that extends approximately two-thirds of the width of the photo. In the bottom left corner, a small minimally raised, grey, rocky area is seen. On the right side of the picture, there are two larger rock filled terrains. In the right upper corner of the photo, a mountainous cliff in the landscape covered with green grass, is found. The sky in the photo is cloudy, but the rays of the sun penetrate the clouds and one-fourth of the sky is clear and light blue.
