The image displays the exterior of the European Parliament building, specifically the Louise Weiss building, located in the European Quarter of Strasbourg, France. The scene is depicted under a uniformly overcast, grey sky. The foreground is comprised of a dark, wet paved plaza or forecourt. To the left, a large, modern multi-story building with a distinct curved facade and extensive horizontal window banding occupies a significant portion of the frame. Below this structure, a dark, low-rise wall with evenly spaced vertical rectangular apertures is visible. Three European Union flags are flying from shorter poles positioned in front of this building. A second, similar modern building is partially visible in the mid-ground, further back and to the right of the main structure. The right side of the image is dominated by a double row of approximately twenty tall, silver-colored flagpoles. Various national flags of European countries and the European Union flag are flying from these poles, with identifiable flags including those of the European Union, Sweden, and Finland. The flags are partially unfurled due to a light breeze. In the mid-ground, between the two rows of flagpoles, an abstract, dark-colored sculpture is situated on a pedestal. Several human figures are present: one solitary individual near the entrance of the main building on the left, another distant figure between the two buildings, and a small group of three to four individuals gathered near a dark, small structure on the far right. Distant bare trees are visible along the horizon line on the right side of the background. The ground appears damp, reflecting the overcast conditions.
