Description
A single sailboat with a tall, billowing white-and-tan sail glides across calm water beneath a rounded natural rock arch, its dark form casting a rippled reflection below. A small figure sits low in the boat's stern, while another vessel is faintly visible in the distance. The sky and water are washed in soft peach and pale orange tones, suggesting either sunrise or sunset over the quiet seascape.
