The image presents a detailed view of the Ill River in Strasbourg, France, specifically within the historic district, likely upstream from the Ponts Couverts. In the foreground, a grey rigid-hulled inflatable boat (RIB) is centered on the dark, rippled river water. Two individuals occupy the boat. One person stands near the bow, facing away from the camera, dressed in a dark jacket, dark beanie, and dark trousers. Another individual is seated in the stern, partially visible from the back, wearing a dark jacket. On the left bank, a series of light yellow and cream-colored buildings with traditional architecture are partially obscured by the bare branches of mature deciduous trees. A prominent, two-story yellow building is constructed directly over the water, featuring two arched openings at its base. A wooden walkway or dock system runs along this bank. The right bank features multi-story buildings, including one with a reddish-orange facade and a distinctive green-domed turret on its corner. Bare trees and vegetation line this bank. In the mid-ground, the river flows under a stone arch bridge, and further buildings with varying architectural styles and rooflines are visible. A small weir or waterfall is present in the river beyond the buildings on the left. Several church spires are discernible against the distant skyline. The sky is overcast with a mix of grey clouds and patches of clear blue sky. A single bird is captured in flight in the upper right portion of the image. The overall lighting suggests an overcast or partly cloudy day.
