close-up view of a sandy beach with shells and the sea in the background

close-up view of a sandy beach with shells and the sea in the background. The sand is fine-grained and a light brown color, with many small pebbles and shell fragments. In the foreground, there is a large, dark brown, elongated shell, possibly a mussel shell, lying on the sand. To the left of this shell, a smaller white shell is visible. Further to the left and in the mid-ground, a ribbed white shell is partially visible. The sea stretches across the horizon, a dark blue line against a pale blue sky with scattered white clouds. The water appears calm. The scene is typical of a beach in Lilaste, Latvia, known for its sandy coastlines and proximity to the Baltic Sea. No people or animals are visible in the image. The lighting suggests it is daytime, with sunlight glinting off the wet sand and shells.
