The image depicts a twilight scene over the Ill River in Strasbourg, France, captured from an elevated position, likely a bridge, looking towards the east/southeast. The sky features a dramatic sunset with a vibrant orange and red glow along the horizon, transitioning to dark grey and purple clouds overhead. The Ill River flows through the lower and central portions of the frame, its dark surface reflecting the intense sky colors and various artificial lights. On the left bank, a row of traditional multi-story European buildings, some with illuminated windows, is partially obscured by several bare deciduous trees. These trees are heavily adorned with numerous glowing, orange, star-shaped string lights, which cast distinct reflections onto the river's surface. On the right bank, similar multi-story buildings with pitched roofs line the river, accompanied by a series of dark, bare trees and visible streetlights. A small flag, possibly red and white, is affixed to a pole above one of the buildings on this bank. In the mid-distance, at least two arched bridges span the river, appearing as dark silhouettes against the bright sunset. Further in the background, a prominent, tall, Gothic-style spire, identifiable as that of the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg, is sharply silhouetted against the bright horizon. The scene is devoid of human figures, conveying a tranquil urban landscape under twilight.
