The image displays a detailed view of the Ill River in the historic La Petite France quarter of Strasbourg, France, observed looking eastward downriver. The scene is captured under a clear, bright blue sky, with late afternoon or early evening sunlight illuminating the right side of the frame. The central element is the Ill River, occupying the lower two-thirds of the image. The water is dark blue with visible ripples, and golden reflections from the sunlit right bank buildings are apparent, contrasting with the dark reflections of the shaded left bank. On the left bank, a prominent, long, multi-story stone building with a gabled, brown-tiled roof is mostly in shadow. Below this structure, an establishment featuring an outdoor seating area with multiple dark umbrellas extends over the water. A pedestrian walkway runs along this bank, where several indistinct figures are visible. Further downriver, additional traditional Alsatian buildings are partially visible, with a cluster of green tree foliage in the upper left corner. The right bank is lined with a series of multi-story buildings, brightly illuminated by direct sunlight. These structures feature varied facades in shades of yellow, beige, and light brown, with numerous windows. A street parallels the river, displaying several parked vehicles, including sedans and hatchbacks. A black metal railing separates the street from the river, and multiple pedestrians are visible on the sidewalk. In the distance, at least two stone arch bridges span the river, with further urban architecture receding into the horizon on both banks. The overall impression is an active urban waterfront during daylight hours.
