Looking into the harbour, which is in a narrow rocky bay. Small dispersed chunks of ice floating in the water. Part of the town can be seen beyond with houses spread out amongst rocks and grass.Looking into the harbour, which is in a narrow rocky bay. Small dispersed chunks of ice floating in the water.
