The image depicts a daytime scene at a lock on the Canal du Rhône au Rhin in Strasbourg, France. The perspective is from a concrete embankment overlooking the canal. In the immediate foreground, a grey concrete surface is visible, partially covered with sparse grass, moss, and scattered natural debris. A sturdy grey metal railing, composed of a horizontal top bar and numerous vertical rectangular bars, runs across the mid-ground, separating the embankment from the water. Two fishing rods are positioned on the concrete path, leaning against the railing. The fishing rod on the left has its reel visible near the bottom-left of the frame. A second fishing rod is situated on the right side, extending upwards and to the right, with its reel also visible near the bottom-right. The lines from these rods are cast into the calm canal water. The canal water, appearing dark green in some areas and reflecting a blue sky with white clouds in others, occupies the space behind the railing. On the far side of the canal, a substantial lock structure is visible. This structure is characterized by numerous vertical, reddish-brown rectangular segments, indicative of Vosges sandstone (grès des Vosges) masonry, forming part of the lock chamber or a similar water control system. The reflections of this reddish-brown structure are clearly visible in the water. Beyond the lock structure and the canal, a lush green landscape of trees and dense foliage forms the background under a bright, partly cloudy blue sky. No individuals are present in the scene.
