Buildings on the coast at Cape Coast, Gold Coast, Africa, at low tide. The photographer is looking across the beach showing a dilapidated stone breakwater in the foreground. Net drying frames and dugout canoes are on the beach. The buildings are a complete mix of construction types and sizes, ranging from small huts with thatched roofs to three storey brick and stone structures under pitched roofs and include a rectangular clock tower. Palm trees are interspersed with the buildings.
