The image depicts a weathered, concrete staircase railing in the foreground, leading down toward the ocean. The railing is crumbling, with exposed rebar and jagged edges. Lush, green vegetation covers the ground around the staircase. In the distance, across the water, is a skyline of a city with high-rise buildings. The water is a deep green-blue color, with hints of whitecaps. The sky is pale blue with a few wispy clouds. The overall scene conveys a sense of decay juxtaposed with a vibrant cityscape.
