The image captures an urban street scene at dusk or night in Strasbourg, France, specifically at Place de la République, with the Palais Universitaire visible in the background. Ground surfaces are wet, reflecting artificial light sources. In the foreground, a dark-paved pedestrian area occupies the left side, bordered by a light-colored granite curb that separates it from the street on the right. The street is also paved with dark, rectangular blocks, featuring embedded tram tracks and reflective yellow road markings. Three individuals are present on the pedestrian area. On the far left, a solitary figure in a light-colored, possibly metallic-sheen jacket and dark trousers walks away from the camera. Further right and slightly ahead, two individuals stand close together; one is prominently dressed in a bright red hooded jacket, with their back to the camera, alongside a partially obscured companion. On the street, a purple public transport bus with brightly illuminated headlights approaches, its lights creating strong reflections on the wet road surface. Headlights from an additional vehicle are visible behind the bus. The background is dominated by the multi-story stone facade of the Palais Universitaire, characterized by numerous windows, some of which are illuminated, and a distinctive rounded corner tower topped with a dome on the right side of the building. Several deciduous trees with bare branches are situated between the pedestrian area and the building. Artificial lighting from streetlights and building interiors illuminates the scene, enhancing reflections across the wet urban landscape.
