Authentic documentary photograph, vertical 2:3. A single weathered cast-iron street clock on a pole stands at the edge of a wet, empty clifftop path, placed in the lower left third and seen slightly from below. Beyond it, a natural sea arch of dark layered rock rises from slate-grey water, small and distant, with a pale line of horizon. Flat soft overcast daylight, no harsh shadows, damp tarmac and tufts of sea thrift, muted natural colours of slate, charcoal, silver and faded green. The clock face is plain and simple with hands and tick marks only. A broad calm area of pale cloudy sky fills the upper third, left empty. 40mm lens, deep depth of field, believable exposure, subtle sensor grain. Quiet, tense, still, observational. No people, no animals, no boats, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
