The image displays a river scene in Strasbourg, France, at either sunrise or sunset. The sun, a bright light source low on the horizon, reflects intensely on the water surface of a wide river, which flows beneath a prominent arched stone bridge. On the left bank, tall, slender, leafless trees stand silhouetted against the sky, partially obscuring multi-story buildings with light-colored facades and dark roofs. Dense, dark foliage covers the ground along this bank. A white, tent-like structure is visible near the bridge abutment. The right bank features a paved riverside promenade with multiple streetlights. Beyond the promenade, additional multi-story buildings with dark roofs and light-colored walls line the street. Leafless trees are also present on this side. Numerous indistinct human figures are visible walking on the promenade and crossing the bridge, indicating pedestrian activity. In the upper right background, a large, dark, inverted L-shaped structure, possibly part of a crane or industrial equipment, is silhouetted against the sky. The sky is partly cloudy, displaying gradients of purple, pink, and orange hues, with two faint contrails visible at higher altitudes. The immediate foreground shows a blurred concrete or stone barrier with metal components, including chains, suggesting the photograph was taken from another elevated structure or bridge.
