The image displays the Hal Gate (Porte de Hal) in Brussels, Belgium, under a clear blue sky. The prominent, multi-story stone tower, constructed of light-colored, possibly white, masonry blocks, is undergoing renovation. A significant portion of the tower, particularly its left and central sections, is covered by extensive silver-colored metal scaffolding with multiple blue-edged work platforms and internal ladder systems. The tower features a rounded section with a crenellated parapet at its summit and several narrow, rectangular windows. A large, arched window or entryway, partially obscured by scaffolding, is visible on the central facade. In the lower-left foreground, a red-and-black tracked hydraulic scissor lift with its platform elevated is positioned on a dark paved surface, adjacent to black metal railings. "EURO-LIFT" and "1050" are visible on the lift's base. At the base of the tower, dark brown protective barriers, some displaying white graffiti, are erected. An orange-and-white striped barrier is partially visible behind the scissor lift. The surrounding environment includes lush green foliage: tall trees on the left, and various bushes and ground cover in the foreground and around the tower's base. No individuals are visible. The scene implies ongoing maintenance or construction work.
