A strip of green land reaches out over the water. Small pale buildings sit well back from its dark edge. Below them, white surf follows the uneven outline of the cliffs, making the boundary easier to trace.

The view holds several scales at once: low buildings, a broad headland, then water running beyond the frame. The buildings are small enough to miss at first, but finding them changes the size of everything around them.
