The image depicts an urban waterside environment at either sunrise or sunset, characterized by significant backlighting. In the immediate foreground, a dark-silhouetted bird, consistent with a crow or raven, is perched on a horizontal metallic railing. Dark foliage and a wire mesh fence are visible directly below the railing. A body of water, likely a river or canal, occupies the midground, its surface reflecting a prominent golden-orange sun streak. In the background, two large, modern, dark-silhouetted buildings stand on opposite banks of the waterway. The building on the left features a distinctive rounded section. These structures are connected by an elevated pedestrian bridge spanning the water. The sky above displays a gradient from vibrant orange and yellow at the horizon, where the sun is partially obscured but brightly visible, to lighter blue with wispy clouds at the top. To the far right, a tall, slender metallic lattice tower is visible against the illuminated sky. This scene is located in Strasbourg, France, specifically within the European Quarter along the Ill River. The architectural style of the buildings strongly resembles structures associated with the European Parliament or Council of Europe complex.
