Description
The image shows a rocky and uneven shoreline with various debris, including concrete pieces and metal scraps. The water’s edge appears murky, with scattered plants growing along the bank. On the opposite side of the waterway, partially obscured by trees and shrubs, is a white two-story house with a porch. Dense green vegetation lines the hillside to the right of the image. The overall setting suggests a neglected or polluted waterfront area near residential housing.
