The image displays a daytime exterior view of the Berlaymont building, headquarters of the European Commission, located in the European Quarter of Brussels, Belgium. The multi-story, modernist office building features a distinctive curved facade composed of a dense grid of light-colored horizontal and vertical elements with reflective glass panels. The upper sections of the building's facade are brightly illuminated, while lower sections appear in partial shadow or reflect ambient light differently. Three European Union flags, blue with a circle of yellow stars, are flown on poles positioned directly in front of the building's lower-mid section. To the right of the flags stands a bare deciduous tree with slender branches, and further right, a black lamppost. The foreground includes a paved area. On the left, a dark-colored, curved architectural structure, possibly a planter or a ramp barrier, rises slightly. On the right, a raised planter contains dry, light-brown grasses and some greener ground cover. A small yellow and blue sign is visible on the ground level near the flagpoles. The sky above is clear and bright blue, devoid of clouds.
