This image depicts a large, reflective metal sculpture, known as the "Signal du Futuroscope" or "Flèche de l'Avenir," situated on a grassy embankment under an overcast sky. The sculpture, located at the intersection of the A13 and A154 motorways near Tourville-la-Rivière, France (specifically near the D921 exit), is the dominant subject. The sculpture is composed of polished, silvery metal. It features a tall, slender vertical shaft that tapers to an arrow-shaped finial at its apex. A smaller, secondary arrow-like element projects from the main shaft just below the top. Approximately halfway down, a large, faceted, highly reflective spherical element is integrated. From this sphere, three curved arms extend diagonally leftward and upward, each terminating in a distinct arrowhead. The entire structure is anchored by two prominent, sharp, wedge-shaped base elements that rise from the ground. The foreground consists of a sloping bank covered with dry, brownish grass and sparse vegetation. A partial red circular road sign is visible at the bottom left. In the background, a dense line of trees and deciduous foliage, exhibiting autumnal characteristics with both green and bare branches, rises behind the sculpture. Clusters of mistletoe are visible on some bare branches to the left. The sky is uniformly overcast with diffuse, light grey cloud cover. No individuals or active subjects are present in the scene.
