The image depicts the illuminated western facade of the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg, located in Strasbourg, France, at night. The Gothic stone structure dominates the frame, showcasing its intricate details under artificial light. The facade is characterized by three highly ornate, deeply recessed portals at the base, adorned with extensive sculptural figures and delicate tracery. Above the central portal, a large rose window with complex radial tracery is brightly illuminated with warm yellow-orange light. Multiple pointed-arch windows are visible across the facade, some emitting a cool blue light, particularly in the upper sections and side bays, contrasting with the warm yellowish light highlighting the stone framework. The verticality of the design is emphasized by numerous slender columns, pinnacles, and tiers of niches containing statuary. The overall illumination scheme creates strong shadows and highlights, emphasizing the three-dimensional quality of the architectural elements against the dark night sky. One or two faint, dark human silhouettes are barely discernible at the base of the central portal, providing a sense of scale against the colossal edifice. No other specific objects or discernible actions are present.
