Quiet Harbor Reverie in Nuova Aquitania

An elderly man sits on a weathered wooden bench at a stone quay, overlooking a calm harbor in Nuova Aquitania, Francia. The glassy water reflects a pale-blue sky. Small fishing boats drift near pastel-colored sheds; seagulls wheel overhead. The harbor is framed by stone walls with distant hills and a faint lighthouse on the horizon. A soft sea breeze ruffles the man's gray hair and tweed jacket. The scene is rendered in a painterly style that blends photorealistic detail with impressionistic brushwork, conveying quiet dignity, timelessness, and the serenity of a calm day.
