A compact velvety black sea bird with a bright orange mouth and feet and bright white wing blazes, on a cliff edge with pink sea thrift flowers and roiling dark gray seas beyond.

A walk along the cliffs on a bright sunny blue sky day. The view looks down onto a small inlet behind the eroded cliffs. A narrow passage allows the sea forms a stony beach covered by clear blue water. On the other side the small rocky island is a narrow section of rock joined to the mainland. On the horizon a tiny white yacht sails the calm sea.
