A nighttime image depicts the upper section of the Colonne de Juillet (July Column) at Place de la Bastille in Paris, France. The monument is constructed from a dark, patinated bronze-like material, exhibiting visible moisture droplets on its surface. At its zenith, a brightly illuminated golden statue of the Génie de la Liberté (Spirit of Liberty) stands dynamically on a golden sphere, with wings outstretched. The figure holds a torch aloft in its raised right hand and broken chains in its left. Directly beneath the statue, the ornate capital features several small French flags draped along its uppermost, decorative railing. The visible portion of the column's shaft below the capital is vertically segmented and inscribed with multiple rows of text, likely names, which are not individually legible. The background is uniformly dark, indicating a nocturnal environment. No other subjects, actions, or specific interactions are discernible.
