Transform the attached photo into a retro travel poster.
Essential elements: [subject]
Palette and mood: [palette]
Redesign as a mid-century illustrated travel poster without typography. Distill terrain and buildings into confident interlocking flat shapes with elegant sweeping contours. Use three clear depth layers, strong readable light/shadow masses and a subtle lithographic paper grain. Keep the coast's silhouette geographically recognizable rather than inventing dramatic peaks. Preserve the original horizontal framing and let the artwork fill the canvas. No border, labels, slogans, gradients, 3D rendering or distressed damage.
Use the attached photograph as the only visual reference. Preserve its camera viewpoint, major silhouettes, relative positions, and recognizable subject. Simplify fine details without adding objects. Produce only the finished artwork, not a comparison, mockup or framed print. Keep the original landscape aspect ratio, at least 1400 pixels wide. No text, lettering, logos, signature or watermark; omit any signage visible in the photograph.Upload a photo and describe the elements to keep.

Example notes and sources
The beach, headland and field retain their arrangement. Flat ochre and green masses create a poster-like composition; small houses and trees are simplified, and the six-ink palette is an aesthetic direction rather than an exact color count.
