The reference photograph looks down a set of worn stone steps to the town below: red roofs, the harbour wall, a pale beach and the bay beyond, with wind turbines on the far hills. Low sun falls across the houses and leaves the grass on the hillside partly in shadow.
The town from the top of the steps, with the breakwater and beach below.
Counting boats
Most of the frame is sky and water, and the town takes up a narrow band across the middle. A handful of small boats sit inside the breakwater; they are easy to miss at first and become the reason to keep looking.
