The image displays the illuminated Cologne Cathedral at night, viewed from a wet street in Cologne, Germany, facing its north-western aspect. The sky is uniformly dark. The asphalt street in the foreground exhibits reflective puddles, with discernible white parallel crosswalk markings and a yellow diagonal line. A series of dark bollards delineate the curb. Elevated on a concrete structure bearing black graffiti are two yellow Deutsche Post mailboxes. Adjacent to these, a blue informational sign with white text and symbols, along with a blue pedestrian crossing sign, is present. Minimal green foliage partially obscures the lower cathedral structure. A single, indistinct human figure is observed walking on a raised sidewalk on the far right, adjacent to a multi-story building. The cathedral's Gothic architecture, including its prominent western spires and northern facade, is prominently lit by artificial light sources.
