The image depicts a nighttime urban scene in Erstein, France, viewed from a slightly elevated perspective. In the immediate foreground, a dark gray curb borders a patch of sparse grass and fallen leaves. Behind this, a concrete retaining wall, stained with dirt or moss, runs horizontally across the frame. Centered in the mid-right, a tall, light-colored metal pole, likely a streetlamp, extends vertically out of the top of the frame, emitting a bright bluish-white light. A circular, reflective object is attached to the pole. Bare tree branches with a few scattered, light-colored leaves partially obscure the upper portion of the pole and the dark night sky. To the left of the pole, a dirt and grass slope descends towards a paved street. A white, compact four-door vehicle is parked on this street, facing left, illuminated by ambient light. Further down the street, another streetlamp is visible, casting a pool of light. On the far left, a large, multi-story building constructed of dark stone and reddish-brown brick dominates the background. It features multiple tall, dark, rectangular openings and at least one arched doorway on its lower level, all appearing unlit. Across the street from the white car and behind a line of bare trees, a lighter-colored, multi-story residential building with several windows and at least one balcony is discernible. A second, darker vehicle is parked further down the street near this building. No individuals are present in the scene. The overall illumination is artificial, originating from the visible streetlamps, contrasting sharply with the dark sky and deep shadows.
