This image depicts an urban street scene in the Quartier de l'Esplanade, Strasbourg, France. The perspective is from ground level, looking down a wide, straight road lined with multi-story residential buildings and bare trees under a clear, light blue sky. The sky occupies the upper two-thirds of the frame, transitioning from a darker blue at the zenith to a lighter, faintly yellowish hue near the horizon on the left. Three distinct white airplane contrails are visible: one prominent, straight line stretches horizontally across the mid-upper sky; a shorter, fainter parallel line is situated lower and further right; and a dispersed, wider contrail appears in the upper left. On the right side of the road, a large, light-colored residential apartment building with numerous balconies dominates the mid-ground, its upper sections partially illuminated while its lower facade is in shadow. A tall, dark street light with a single arm and fixture stands prominently in front of this building. Further down the street, additional similar residential blocks are visible on both sides, receding into the distance. The street itself is asphalt, dark and reflecting minimal light. It features what appears to be a dedicated bike path or pedestrian area on the left, marked by a curb and some road signs in the distance. The road is lined with bare deciduous trees, their dark, intricate branches silhouetted against the sky and buildings. On the left side of the foreground, a bright yellow rectangular planter is visible on the sidewalk. No individuals or active vehicles are discernibly present in the visible portion of the street. The overall lighting suggests either early morning or late afternoon, with a low sun angle creating shadows and strong contrasts.
