Aerial view of a coastal city with colorful buildings, boats in a canal, and mountains and water in the background under a clear sky.
A cliff juts out over a deep blue fjord, surrounded by steep, rocky mountains under a partly cloudy sky. A person stands at the cliff’s edge, overlooking the dramatic landscape.
