This is an eye-level, long-shot, vertical, exterior photograph of the Graslei and Korenlei quays in Ghent, Belgium, at dusk. The sky is a deep, dark blue with streaks of lighter blue and grey clouds. The canal, which runs through the center of the frame, is dark and reflects the lights of the buildings and the sky. On the left side of the canal, a row of historic, white buildings with lit windows lines the quay. The architecture is varied, with some buildings featuring classical facades and others with more ornate detailing. Several streetlights illuminate the cobblestone walkway in front of these buildings. A group of people is seated on the edge of the canal or on benches along the walkway, some interacting with each other, while others appear to be observing the canal. Boats are docked on the far side of the canal. On the right side of the canal, a cobblestone quay is illuminated by several streetlights. A more varied architectural style is visible here, with some buildings appearing to be older and more medieval in design, including a prominent building with spires. A number of people are seated on the edge of the quay, on benches, or on the cobblestones, some in conversation or relaxing. The canal's reflection of the lights from the buildings on both sides creates a warm glow on the water's surface. The overall atmosphere is tranquil and picturesque.
