This nighttime image depicts an urban river scene in Strasbourg, France, specifically providing a view across the Rhine River towards the Passerelle des Deux Rives (Bridge of Two Shores). The perspective is from an elevated point on the French bank, looking eastward. The foreground and midground are dominated by the dark, still surface of the river, which reflects numerous artificial lights from the banks and structures. A thin, pale diagonal line, consistent with a wire or cable, traverses the upper right quadrant of the frame. In the mid-left area of the water, a small, luminescent green or yellow object is observed floating. Along the immediate left bank, which is the French side of Strasbourg, a series of approximately ten or more moored vessels, including apparent houseboats and barges, are visible. These boats are illuminated by various lights, predominantly warm yellow and bright green. Behind these vessels, a cluster of buildings with numerous illuminated windows and prominent signage indicates an active urban commercial or residential area. In the background, the distinctive white arch of the Passerelle des Deux Rives is brightly illuminated as it spans the river, connecting Strasbourg to Kehl, Germany. Beyond the bridge, additional urban buildings with scattered lights are discernible against the dark night sky on both sides of the river. No human figures or explicit actions are evident in the scene. The image exhibits a somewhat blurry and grainy quality, indicative of low-light photographic conditions.
