The image depicts a nighttime urban scene in Strasbourg, France, specifically capturing a section of the Ill River and its surrounding architecture. The view is from an elevated vantage point, likely a bridge or embankment, with a dark metal railing in the lower left foreground. The dark, rippled water of the Ill River occupies the lower half of the frame, reflecting numerous points of artificial light. To the left, a stone arch bridge, possibly the Pont Saint-Martin or similar, spans the river, its arches illuminated by warm lights from below. The bridge features dark railings topped with planters containing green and yellow foliage. Beyond this bridge, a street lined with multi-story buildings, some exhibiting traditional half-timbered elements, is visible, illuminated by streetlights and a green traffic signal. To the right, a prominent, multi-story building with a distinctive curved, light-colored facade, identifiable as the Hôtel Régent Petite France, dominates the background. Its upper floors feature numerous rectangular windows with closed shutters. The ground and first floors are brightly lit through large windows, indicating commercial establishments or hotel common areas. Bicycles are parked along a railing near the base of this building. A section of the riverbank beneath the bridge connecting to this building displays faint graffiti or a mural. The sky is uniformly dark, consistent with nighttime conditions. No individuals or discernible human activity are present within the frame.
