The image displays a clear, sunlit view of the Canal du Rhône au Rhin in Strasbourg, France, specifically looking southeast towards Écluse 36 Ill. The canal's calm, dark blue water occupies the foreground and mid-ground, reflecting the bright blue sky and bare trees from its banks. On the left bank, a grassy embankment slopes down to a concrete retaining wall at the waterline. This bank is lined with numerous deciduous trees, mostly bare of leaves, suggesting winter or early spring. A paved path runs alongside the canal, and further back, a large, multi-story building, possibly a hospital or institutional structure, is visible in the distant background. A dark-hulled barge, approximately 20-30 meters long, is moored or awaiting passage near a lock mechanism just beyond a stone bridge that spans the canal in the mid-ground. Adjacent to the bridge and lock on the left bank stands a two-story white lock house with a dark pitched roof. The right bank features a steeply sloped, vegetated embankment with dry, brownish grass and sparse bushes, secured by a concrete or stone retaining wall at the water's edge. Above this embankment, a road is visible with several parked and possibly moving vehicles (cars) and a sidewalk. Further down the canal, a small, dark object, possibly a single-person watercraft or a small boat, is present in the middle of the waterway. No explicit human figures are discernible in active roles. The overall scene depicts a serene urban canal environment on a clear day.
