The image depicts a nighttime urban scene along a canal in Strasbourg, France, specifically at Quai Saint-Nicolas, featuring Pont Saint-Nicolas. The dark sky occupies the upper portion of the frame, showing faint, textured cloud cover in the upper right quadrant. Artificial illumination dominates the scene. In the foreground on the left, a paved sidewalk includes white-striped pedestrian crossing markings and gray tactile paving. A white compact car is parked facing left near a public transport stop, identified by a tall pole and an information display board containing an unreadable light blue map. Two streetlights with bright white globes illuminate the sidewalk and roadway. A black metal railing runs along the right edge of the sidewalk, separating it from the canal below. The midground is dominated by a multi-arched stone bridge, Pont Saint-Nicolas, spanning a dark, reflective canal. The canal water appears still, reflecting limited ambient light. Beyond the bridge, on the far bank of the canal, a continuous row of uniformly trimmed bushes or small trees is illuminated with blue accent lighting. In the background, behind the illuminated bushes and the bridge, two distinct buildings are visible. To the left, a multi-story building, identified as the IUT de Strasbourg - Site Saint-Nicolas (Anciens Abattoirs), features windows with blue internal illumination. To the right, a large, multi-story stone building, typical of Alsatian architecture, has numerous evenly spaced rectangular windows, several of which emit a warm yellow light. No individuals or active subjects are discernible within the frame.
