A placid tide pool reflects a portion of clear aquamarine sky situated beyond the frame, beset like a cool jewel in a sea of caramel-colored kelp left stranded by low tide upon Myrland's rocky shore. In the distance, the warm light of dawn silhouettes several coastal peaks, chief among them Tsjeldsnesfloget, Slettinden, and Storsandnestinden in this view looking east-northeast.

This is a 2-exposure blend of differently-polarized images: one to maximize the sky's reflection off the tide pool and one to cut the glare off the reflective surfaces of the remainder of the scene.
