Mountain coast and calm sea under soft cloudy sky

This picture displays a vast expanse of ocean, lined by mountain coast Licking out into the sea. The sea is a pale grey with slight ripple in all directions. The sky is full of alternating light and dark clouds. A chink opens in the clouds and admits some faint brightness, which lays itself upon the water and produces a light spot near the horizon. The restless sea is corrective as well: The dark mountain coast against the lighter sea contains itself with thick trees that climb its face. “There are little houses and paths that connect the land and water at the landing of the coast. The form of the coast leads the eye from near shore to distant headland. On each side of the bay, the mountain mass against which it is laid gives a strong line while the open water spreads very wide and calm. The colours can be chilled with blue and greys that come together in harmony. The scene seems both hushed and expansive as the water, mountains and sky seem to converge in a single frame.
