The scene depicts the passenger ship "AMASERENA," registered in Basel, Switzerland, positioned within a concrete lock chamber at the Gerstheim Lock, Gerstheim, France. The image is captured during golden hour, characterized by a sky gradient from light blue overhead to warm orange and yellow at the horizon, with sparse cloud cover. The ship's stern faces the viewer, displaying its name and homeport, "AMASERENA" and "BASEL CH," respectively. The ship's upper deck is illuminated, and festive garlands are visible along its structure. Within the lock, the water around the vessel is relatively calm. In the immediate foreground, below a metal grate platform and guardrails, turbulent water indicates active lock operation, either filling or emptying. Tall, grey streetlights with linear fixtures line the lock's perimeter on both sides. Beyond the lock walls, bare trees are visible to the left, and a portion of a light-colored vehicle is partially visible to the right. No individuals are present.
