The pier extends into the sea on the left, while tall, modern structures rise in the background. A bird flies in the clear sky above the scene. Aerial view of a coastal city with a beach on the left and an expansive urban area on the right. A promenade and road separate the beach from the city, with numerous people walking, cycling, and resting along the beach and greenery. Buildings and sidewalks are busy. Runners compete in a marathon on a sunny day, passing by a historic, white palace with domes and spires. The runners are of various ages and wearing colorful athletic gear. A banner along the route advertises Chestnut Tree House Children's Hospice Care. A group of enthusiastic people, some holding a vibrant neon sign with decorations, cheer and smile at a race event. The sign reads "KEEP SMILING & RUNNING" with colorful letters and symbols. The sunny day adds vibrance to the lively atmosphere.
