A nighttime photograph captures the Pont Saint-Martin bridge and the illuminated Île Sainte-Hélène bastion within the Petite France district of Strasbourg, France. A calm, dark waterway, likely a branch of the Ill River, occupies the lower portion of the scene, reflecting artificial light sources. On the left, a large, rounded stone bastion, part of the Île Sainte-Hélène, is prominently lit by a continuous strip of warm, golden-orange light along its upper edge, which casts a strong reflection on the water. A single, small, dark rectangular opening is visible on the bastion's water-facing side. To the right, the multi-arched stone Pont Saint-Martin bridge spans the water. Its underside arches are distinctly illuminated with cool, blue-white light, creating mirrored reflections in the still water below. The bridge features a stone balustrade along its upper surface. Above the stone structures and bridge, dark, dense tree foliage is visible, with one tree to the right of the bastion notably illuminated by a bright, greenish-white light from an unseen source. On the distant bank beyond the bastion, several streetlights with yellowish glows are visible, and their reflections are present on the water's surface. Faint outlines of buildings are discernible behind these distant trees and lights. In the extreme lower right foreground, dark plant foliage with hints of reddish-pink flowers is partially visible. The scene is devoid of human presence, actions, or interactions, depicting a serene, artificially lit urban waterscape at night.
