Late afternoon - early evening scene overlooking a large expanse of salt water flowing through a tidal estuary in a breezy City, facing south to the neighboring borough on the other side; one of the City's newest skylines is formed by these glass skyscrapers that are astoundingly expensive; smaller, natural islands lie in between the two larger land masses of the City boroughs as an ominous and dark gray sky looms overhead, but sunlight infiltrates the scene from the east, which is strange for the evening and causes an interesting lighting composition for the scene.

Early evening scene at a river (well, technically a tidal estuary or strait) in a seafaring City during a particularly wet and foggy day; the clouds are so low that most of the skyline across the river is obscured but for a few lower buildings and the red and white "candy striped" smokestacks of the steam plant on the island between; a ship passes by an undeveloped wooded island; it is a very large ship to be seen in this strait and it is difficult to tell the type of ship it is, with its big black hull and red and yellow industrial paint scheme; seems to be very heavy duty; at the edge of one of the small islands, facing the waters agitated by the rain, stands a very small lighthouse; this is known to be a treacherous area to navigate.
