A man is walking on a tarmac path looking to his right talking to a person in a red mobility scooter. He is wearing a cream polo and jeans while the other person wears a blue top and bucket hat. The sun is shining and the sky is bright blue with a small number of white fluffy clouds. Either side of the tarmac path is water. The water is flat calm reflecting the sky.
