The image depicts the Grande Arche de la Défense, a large, cubic, open-sided structure, illuminated at night, located in Puteaux, France. The sky is a deep twilight blue. The main subject is a monumental, white, cube-shaped building with a large square void at its center, resembling an arch. The exterior surfaces of the arch are smooth and uniformly white. The inner faces of the arch's vertical sides are glass facades, densely gridded with numerous illuminated rectangular windows, creating a bright pattern. The inner ceiling of the arch also features a grid of lights. Within the central void of the arch, a complex, lighter-colored architectural element with a curvilinear, perhaps membrane-like, roof is visible, supported by an intricate framework of metallic struts. To its right, a tall, slender, open-framework tower extends upwards. At the base of the arch, a wide plaza or elevated walkway is discernible, populated by several small, indistinct human figures. Below this level, darker building structures with reflective windows and a sloping ramp or access point are visible. The deep blue night sky fills the upper portion of the frame, and through the arch's opening, other less distinct, darker buildings are silhouetted against the sky. The image is captured from a slightly elevated perspective.
