The European Parliament Building in Strasbourg at Twilight with Reflections on the Water

The photograph captures the Louise Weiss building of the European Parliament during the blue hour, that magical moment between sunset and night when the sky takes on pink and purple hues. The large elliptical glass structure is perfectly reflected in the calm waters of the Ill River, with interior lights beginning to illuminate the parliamentary hemicycle. The warm office lights contrast with the cool tones of the twilight sky. This building, representing European democracy, hosts monthly plenary sessions where 705 MEPs gather to vote on European Union laws.
