The image depicts a lock system on a waterway in Gerstheim, France, during either sunrise or sunset, characterized by a blue sky transitioning to an orange-yellow horizon. In the foreground, a dark gray metal platform with a grated surface and a security fence on the left partially frames the scene. A metal handrail extends diagonally from the right side of the platform. Within the lock chamber, two cargo barges are stationary on calm water. The barge on the left, positioned further forward relative to the camera's perspective, is light blue and white with a visible cabin structure at its stern, where the name "HILUNDA" is legible. The second barge, positioned further back and to the right, is a darker gray or black, featuring a flat-topped cargo area and a smaller structure at its stern. Concrete lock walls line both sides of the waterway, receding into the distance. Bollards are visible along the top of these walls. Streetlights with horizontal fixtures are erected along the lock banks and further into the background. On the right bank, a dark-colored, single-story building stands near the lock, with distant industrial structures faintly visible on the horizon. No individuals are present in the scene.
