The image displays an unoccupied urban waterfront scene in Caen, France, under a clear blue sky. A broad, calm waterway occupies the left side of the frame, reflecting the sky and light-colored, multi-story buildings that line its distant bank. Approximately a dozen small white waterfowl are distributed across the water's surface. A multi-arched bridge, carrying vehicular traffic, spans the waterway in the mid-distance, leading to a visible row of bare deciduous trees on the far bank. In the foreground, an asphalt path runs parallel to the waterway on the right. Long shadows from bare deciduous trees (whose branches partially enter the upper frame from the right) stretch across this path, which also features a circular manhole cover. This path is separated from a lower concrete embankment by a strip of ground covered in a dense layer of fallen brown deciduous leaves and a low, dark green metal railing. Two dark, backless benches are situated on the concrete embankment, positioned to face the water. Scattered pieces of light-colored debris are visible on the concrete near the water's edge. Bare deciduous tree branches, some with small dark seed pods, partially frame the upper left of the sky. No individuals are present in the visible area.
