The image displays an exterior, low-angle view of the Cathédrale Saint-Étienne de Metz (Metz Cathedral) in Metz, France. The primary subject is the large Gothic cathedral, constructed from light brown stone, occupying most of the frame. Its architectural features include multiple pointed arch windows with dark glass and visible tracery, prominent flying buttresses, and steeply pitched, dark green roofs, indicative of copper or slate. Two ornate, slender spires are visible, with the taller central spire dominating the upper-mid section of the cathedral. A circular clock face with Roman numerals is present on a lower tower section to the left, indicating a time of approximately 10:25. A smaller, green-domed structure is visible near the base of the cathedral in the lower-center. In the lower-mid foreground, a dark, multi-branched lamppost with two lights is positioned. The sky above is partly cloudy, featuring a mix of light grey and white clouds, with distinct patches of clear blue sky visible, primarily in the upper right quadrant. The upper right corner of the image also reveals a sharp, angular section of an adjacent, lighter-colored building, possibly a cornice or roofline. No people, discernible actions, or interactions are visible.
