The high temperatures of the day are conveyed through Weekes’s treatment of atmosphere: the air appears hazy and motionless, with edges slightly diffused as though viewed through a veil of summer heat. This sense of stillness extends to the quiet stretch of shoreline, where movement is minimal, and the village seems suspended in a moment of midday calm.

Above, summer cloud formations drift across a pale, expansive sky. Their forms are soft and slow-moving, painted in muted creams and warm greys.
