The image depicts a wide artificial waterway, likely a canal, in Gerstheim, France, under conditions suggesting either dawn or dusk. A multi-deck white passenger boat with blue accents is positioned centrally in the midground, traversing the waterway, its reflection visible on the calm water surface. No individuals are discernible on the boat. The waterway is flanked by structured banks. The left bank in the foreground consists of a concrete retaining wall, with a small metal mechanism attached to its upper edge. Further along this bank, a paved service road or path runs parallel to the water, lined with streetlights whose reflections appear on the water. Beyond the road, a dense line of bare deciduous trees and brush extends into the distance. The right bank features a similar concrete retaining wall, topped by a sloping grassy verge. Above this, a row of bare deciduous trees lines the bank, interspersed with streetlights, also reflecting on the water. The sky occupies the upper third of the image, displaying a gradient from light blue at the zenith to a soft pinkish-orange hue near the horizon. Scattered, thin grey clouds are present, particularly towards the upper right. The overall illumination is soft and diffused, with artificial lights along the banks providing additional light sources.
