Water Gate, Famagusta, from the sea looking south
Description
The photograph is taken from the water looking south towards the harbour entrance at Famagusta. A long stone wall runs across the middle distance, with a gateway and towers along its length. At the right, a rocky headland rises above the water with buildings on top, and the sea in the foreground is rippled under a pale, hazy sky.
