A wide-angle exterior view depicts the Ill River in Strasbourg, France, specifically looking north-northeast towards the Malraux peninsula from a bridge. The river occupies the central and lower portions of the frame, with its surface exhibiting ripples and sun glint, transitioning from a darker green hue on the left to a brighter blue-green on the right. Sparse floating vegetation is visible on the water. The left bank features a dense, continuous line of mature deciduous trees with lush green foliage, extending into the distance. Below these trees, additional green shrubbery is visible along the immediate riverbank. The right bank is characterized by modern urban architecture. In the midground, the Archives Départementales du Bas-Rhin building is prominent, featuring a large, highly reflective glass facade that mirrors the trees from the opposite bank and sections of the sky. Adjacent to it, further downriver and slightly to the right, is the Médiathèque André Malraux, a multi-story white building with large-scale printed text elements on its exterior walls and multiple rectangular windows. Beyond these, other contemporary structures, including a taller, darker building (likely Tour Elithis), are visible in the background. A concrete embankment with a pedestrian walkway supported by metal beams runs along the right bank. In the far distance, at least two bridges span the river. The sky is clear blue with scattered white cumulus clouds. No human figures or vehicles are present within the frame. The scene is illuminated by bright daylight, casting defined shadows.
