Weathered fishing boats rest on exposed mudflats as the tide recedes, their hulls catching the warm light of a hazy afternoon sky. The distant treeline rises in layered blue-green silhouettes against a luminous yellow atmosphere, while the foreground reveals the textured chaos of a working waterfront—scattered debris, wooden structures, and the quiet industry of a New England cove. The scene captures that particular stillness between tides, when the harbor reveals its hidden architecture.
