A black and white photo of an older couple taking a close-up selfie on a beach. The man is leaning his head towards the woman, eyes closed with a content expression, while the woman, wearing large sunglasses, looks directly at the camera with a slight smile. In the background, a tranquil beach scene with a distinctive rock formation in the water is visible under a cloudy sky.
