An evening photograph captures the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg in Strasbourg, France, viewed directly from a pedestrian street. The towering Gothic cathedral, illuminated, occupies the central background against a dark, unlit sky. Its main facade, featuring an ornate rose window and intricate carvings, is visible, topped by the single, highly detailed spire. To the left, a multi-story building with light-colored walls and numerous windows, many fitted with white louvered shutters, lines the street. The ground level of this building features arched alcoves and an outdoor dining area equipped with several light-colored, folded patio umbrellas and tables. To the right, another multi-story building presents a mix of architectural styles, including a prominent section with dark half-timbered construction and multiple windows. Warmly lit streetlights are visible along this side. The paved street in the foreground and midground is populated by numerous individuals, appearing as pedestrians engaged in casual movement. A dark, upright bollard or post is visible in the lower-center. A blurred, indistinct object partially covers the lower right corner of the frame. The scene is illuminated by artificial light sources, casting a warm glow on the structures and street level.
