This night image depicts a view of the Ill River in Strasbourg, France, featuring the Pont Royal bridge and the Palais du Rhin. The scene is illuminated primarily by artificial light sources. In the foreground, the dark surface of the Ill River reflects the warm yellow light cast upon the underside of the multi-arch stone bridge. Along the left bank, a light-colored brick pathway is visible, bordered by a strip of grass. Dark, undefined foliage partially obscures the upper left corner of the frame. The Pont Royal bridge, constructed of light-colored stone, spans the river in the midground, its arches and balustrades brightly lit from below, creating prominent reflections in the water. Several streetlights are visible on the bridge structure and in the background beyond it. On the right bank, the multi-story Palais du Rhin (formerly Kaiserpalast) stands prominently. Its facade is illuminated, revealing multiple windows, some of which show interior light. The building exhibits a distinctive rounded corner and is topped with a dark mansard roof. Steps descend from the embankment near the building towards the river. A green traffic light is visible on the far right, near the building's base. No discernible individuals or active elements are present.
