This image depicts an upward-angled view within a narrow urban passage in Metz, France, framed by two multi-story residential buildings. In the distance, prominently centered within the passage, stands the modern Tour de la Mutuelle de Poitiers (also known as Tour Saint-Thiébault), a tall, slender high-rise building with a light-colored façade and numerous horizontal window bands. The sky overhead is uniformly overcast with grey cloud cover. The building on the left is light beige and features a vertical grey downspout. Visible details include an upper-floor window with a red-barred balustrade and a lower-floor rounded architectural element from which dense green ivy cascades. Below this, a window with closed white roller shutters is present. The building on the right is darker, an ochre-brown stucco, and also features a vertical grey downspout. Its façade contains multiple recessed windows, some fitted with dark, possibly wrought-iron, security bars or small balustrades. An antique-style street lamp with an ornate copper-colored fixture and glass lantern is affixed to the wall on this building's lower-mid section. No individuals are present in the scene. The overall lighting is diffused, indicating daytime conditions under heavy cloud cover.
