The image depicts an urban street scene at night on Avenue de Colmar in Strasbourg, France. The perspective is from a sidewalk, looking down a multi-lane road towards the distance. The foreground features a dark asphalt road surface on the left, separated by a textured strip of paving stones from a lighter-colored paved area on the right. This paved area includes a wide white arrow painted on it, pointing away from the viewer. A manhole cover is visible further down this paved section. On the far left, a brightly illuminated, vertical advertising light-box panel displays a colorful advertisement featuring the brand "GUERLAIN." In the midground, the road extends towards a green traffic light in the distance. Two dark-colored cars with illuminated red taillights are visible in the nearest lane, moving away from the viewer. On the right side of the road, along the sidewalk, a row of parked cars includes, from front to back: a dark grey SUV, a silver hatchback, a blue/grey compact car, and a partially visible white compact car. Approximately four to five individuals are visible on the right sidewalk near the parked vehicles and a building entrance. One figure is obscured by a streetlamp, and another stands near a turquoise-lit shopfront. The background is dominated by multi-story buildings under a dark night sky. On the right, a dark grey modern building features numerous rectangular windows and distinctive yellow, square balcony or decorative elements protruding from its facade. A bright, yellow-orange glowing streetlamp stands prominently in front of this building. To the left of this structure, a taller, lighter-colored building with a distinct grid-like pattern of balconies or windows rises against the skyline. Further left in the background, another multi-story building with illuminated windows is visible. Ground-level shopfronts beneath the buildings on the right emit a bright turquoise or blue light.
