The image depicts an urban waterside scene in Strasbourg, France, specifically in front of the Médiathèque André Malraux. A large, multi-story building with a light gray horizontally corrugated metal facade dominates the upper half of the frame. Black text is printed directly onto this facade, featuring a prominent yellow-highlighted "médiathèque" with a left-pointing arrow. Further French text below describes a "médiathèque" as a "préméditée" organization of reading and consultation space, an "architecture" representing a "véritable 'geste architectural'," and references the "Ministère de la culture et de la communication" and "bibliothèques municipales." In the foreground, a red and blue canal boat (barge or péniche) is moored in the water. The boat's upper structure is painted red, featuring several small, arched-top windows and a white Mitsubishi air conditioning unit mounted on its side. Its lower hull is painted blue, showing some wear. A metal ladder extends from the red deck structure down towards the water. On the visible deck area towards the left, stacked chairs are present. Behind the boat, a raised platform or land area is visible, partially covered by camouflage-patterned netting. Several light blue, folded patio umbrellas stand on this platform, along with some greenery including a small palm tree. One individual wearing dark clothing is standing on this platform, facing away from the viewer. A string of colorful fairy lights stretches diagonally across the scene, originating from a pole near the boat and extending towards the building's facade. In the water next to the blue hull of the boat, a small, orange and blue inflatable boat or float is visible. The water appears slightly murky under an overcast sky.
