This image captures a nighttime urban scene in Strasbourg, France, featuring the illuminated spire of the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg prominently in the upper background against a dark blue sky. Two thin, parallel overhead wires stretch diagonally across the upper portion of the frame. The mid-ground is occupied by a cluster of historic buildings. A multi-story, half-timbered building with light-colored infill panels and dark wooden beams stands on the left, brightly lit with numerous windows and arched ground-floor entrances. To its right, a narrower, lighter-colored building with a gabled roof and brown-framed windows is visible. Further right, another half-timbered building with significant wooden detail and some hanging greenery is partially seen. A section of a building on the far left displays red illumination. The foreground depicts a bustling street or plaza area. Multiple individuals are present, standing and interacting. Notable figures include a man with glasses and a beard in the lower right, looking towards the left, and a man with reddish-brown hair conversing with a woman with dark hair in the lower-left corner. Several large, folded outdoor umbrellas, light grey in color, are positioned in the mid-to-lower right, suggesting a closed outdoor dining area or market stalls. Artificial lighting highlights the architectural details and the gathered people, casting shadows and creating a vibrant nocturnal atmosphere.
