The image depicts a contrasting architectural scene in Schiltigheim, France, under an overcast or foggy sky. In the foreground, the steeply pitched, terracotta-tiled roof and gabled upper story of a traditional Alsatian half-timbered house are visible. This structure features pink plaster infill panels outlined by dark brown timbers, a white-framed window with open white louvered shutters, and a small attic dormer with a dark roof. Behind and significantly taller, a modern concrete high-rise apartment building dominates the midground. This multi-story structure presents light gray concrete facades with numerous horizontal window bands and vertical orange-brown panels, interspersed with rows of balconies featuring dark metal railings. The uppermost levels of the high-rise show vegetation, including distinct evergreen trees on the rooftop. A second, simpler concrete tower is partially visible to the right of the main high-rise, receding into the atmospheric haze. No individuals are visible in the scene.
