The image captures a sunny daytime scene from a boat navigating a canal in the city of Ghent, Belgium, specifically along its historic waterways. In the immediate foreground on the left, the white and wooden railing of the viewing boat is visible, along with the left shoulder and arm of an individual wearing a black long-sleeved top and a black and white patterned cap. The canal's calm, reflective water occupies the lower and central portions of the frame. The far bank is lined with a continuous array of historic, multi-story buildings, characterized by their varied architectural styles, predominantly featuring brick and stone facades in colors ranging from light cream to red, and distinctive gabled roofs. Numerous people are visible seated at outdoor cafe and restaurant terraces located at the ground level of these buildings. Several other boats are present on the water; these include multiple smaller, open-top tourist vessels, some with red canopies, and at least one larger white passenger boat docked or moving slowly near the right bank. A low bridge spans the canal in the mid-distance, connecting the banks. Above the cityscape, two large construction cranes are prominent against a clear blue sky dotted with scattered white cumulus clouds. One red and white lattice boom crane extends diagonally from the upper left, while a yellow tower crane rises vertically above the buildings on the right side of the frame.
