The image captures an active construction site in Schiltigheim, France, observed from a slightly elevated position through a weathered metal railing. The central feature is a deep, large-scale excavation pit with earthen walls, some supported by timber shoring. Within the pit, a yellow tower crane is in an apparent state of assembly or disassembly, with its base structure and multiple stacked concrete counterweights visible. A red and white mobile crane stands adjacent, its boom extended upwards, indicating its role in the tower crane operation. Additional yellow crane sections are positioned horizontally on the excavated ground. Two "ECHAMAT KERNST" promotional banners, displaying a web address and telephone number (03 88 64 02 00), are affixed to the green mesh fencing enclosing the site. Two vehicles, a white commercial van and a darker blue vehicle, are parked on the floor of the excavation on the left side of the frame. Red hoses or cables traverse parts of the excavated ground. In the background, beyond the construction area, several multi-story urban buildings, varying in color and design, are visible amidst mature trees and foliage. The sky is clear and blue with minimal scattered white clouds, suggesting bright, sunny weather conditions. Strong sunlight casts distinct shadows across the scene. No individuals are clearly discernible in the image.
