A heavily rusted iron fence stands in sharp focus against a sunlit harbor, its vertical bars deeply corroded with bright orange oxidation and several detached struts hanging loose near the concrete base. A section of chain-link mesh is lashed to the railing with white rope, emphasizing the decaying industrial texture of the foreground. Across the blue water, the cityscape of Kobe is rendered soft by a shallow depth of field, though the red lattice structure of the Port Tower and the white, curved silhouette of the Meriken Park Oriental Hotel remain identifiable. The composition concludes with the faint, hazy outline of the Rokko Mountains rising behind the urban skyline.
