The image captures a low-angle, upward-facing view of the illuminated Strasbourg Cathedral (Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg) in Strasbourg, France, at night. The sky above is a dark, clear blue. The cathedral's intricate Gothic stone facade, constructed from dark-colored material, is brightly lit by warm artificial lights positioned to highlight its architectural details. The central feature is a large, circular rose window located in the upper facade, characterized by its detailed radial tracery. Below it, the grand arched main entrance with extensive sculptural ornamentation is visible. The facade exhibits numerous vertical elements, flying buttresses, pinnacles, and niches containing statuary, all emphasized by the upward lighting. To the left, the upper sections of a highly ornate spire rise sharply, culminating in a small, distinctively lit finial at its apex. Several tall, arched windows with elaborate tracery are distributed across the visible portions of the structure. No individuals, vehicles, or other objects are visible in the immediate foreground or background, isolating the cathedral against the night sky.
