Color photograph of a coastal landscape: a diagonal shaft of golden light cuts across a dark pebbly shore toward a narrow sandy beach, with calm blue water and a clear sky beyond.
Color photograph of an urban streetscape, with horizontal bands of dark asphalt, yellow center lines, a red-painted curb, and a sunlit yellow concrete wall. An ornate cast-iron lamppost stands on the sidewalk, casting a long diagonal shadow. A manhole cover sits in the foreground roadway; palm tree trunks and green grass are visible above the wall.
Color photograph taken from a high angle looking down on a cobblestone square in a European town, a solitary red vintage car parked in the foreground, surrounded by aged stone buildings with tiled rooftops in muted grey and dusty pink tones.
