Illuminated stone buildings with arched windows and a white balcony tower rise above the steps, lit by a street lamp and warm evening light. Several small wooden boats are moored at the water's edge, and the river surface reflects golden light. A few distant figures stand on the steps, but no individual is clearly identifiable.

At the water's edge a large fire blazes on a platform while small groups of people stand and sit on the steps and in boats nearby. Several small flames glow along the bank. The scene appears to be an evening fire ritual at the riverside. No individual figure can be identified as a person from this distance.2014-05-13
