Description

Three people in dark clothing crouch or sit close together on dark rocks at the edge of a curving sandy beach, with the sea behind them. A pale cloth lies on a flat rock beside a small white cup, and a metal object, possibly a small stove or lamp-like item, sits on the rocks near the water's edge.

A folded light cloth lies on the rock beside them, with a small cup and a metal container nearby. Sea water runs over the dark rock in the foreground, and a sandy beach curves along the top right.
