The image depicts a nighttime street scene in Bischheim, France, centered on the illuminated Protestant Church of Bischheim. The prominent subject is the church's tall, slender bell tower, constructed of light-colored stone blocks, rising dramatically against a dark, clear sky. The tower features multiple levels, including arched and lancet windows with tracery, and a discernible clock face near its apex. It is crowned by a dark, steeply pitched, pointed spire, likely covered in slate or metal, tapering to a finial at its peak. To the immediate left of the tower, a narrow, paved street recedes into the distance, illuminated by a single modern streetlight. A light-colored sedan is parked further down this street. On the far left foreground, the partial facade of a reddish-brown building is visible, indicating a confined urban setting. To the right of the church tower, a three-story building with a light yellow/ochre facade and white window trim occupies the frame. Several windows on this building feature closed external roller shutters. At the base of the church tower, a dark metal fence or gate separates the church grounds from the sidewalk. A red and white circular traffic sign, resembling a "no stopping" or "no parking" indicator, is mounted on a pole near the fence, with a smaller red sign beneath it. The church tower is brightly illuminated by multiple artificial floodlights positioned at its base, creating strong highlights and shadows. No individuals are visible in the scene.
