The Grotta Azzurra (Blue Grotto) on the north coast of Capri, Italy. The photographer is in a passenger cruise ship's tender off the coast looking at a number of rowing boats approaching to take off tourists for a trip into the grotto. The grotto entrance is on the right with steps to the right of it which lead up to a walled terrace and a path up to an entrance in the cliffside. At the end of the terrace is a religious shrine.
