This night image captures a vibrant, illuminated carousel situated in a public square within Strasbourg, France. The central subject is a brightly lit, multi-tiered traditional carousel adorned with numerous warm yellow lights forming heart-shaped patterns on its upper fascia and linear strings along its supporting poles. A white equine figure crowns its dark, conical roof. Multiple individuals are visible on and around the carousel. Several people, including one in light-colored clothing ascending steps, are on the carousel platform, some appearing to ride various animal figures or occupy benches. In the immediate foreground, a crowd of approximately two dozen people is gathered, mostly silhouetted against the carousel's brilliance, observing the attraction from behind a translucent barrier with a metal handrail, likely glass or plastic. Below this barrier, a grey stone or concrete surface is visible. In the background, multi-story urban buildings define the skyline under a dark blue night sky. To the left of the carousel, a lighter-colored building features multiple rectangular windows, some internally illuminated, and a visible climbing wall structure on its left facade. Dominating the background directly behind the carousel is a darker, older-style building with a distinctive steeply pitched gabled roof punctuated by numerous small, square dormer windows. To the far right, a building with pink/purple illumination is partially visible, alongside a small, illuminated kiosk-like structure. The scene conveys a festive, lively public atmosphere.
