The photograph portrays the southern side of Notre-Dame Cathedral of Strasbourg with a colorful traditional carousel in the foreground, a typical element of the city's famous Christmas markets. The Gothic architecture of the cathedral, with its flying buttresses, pinnacles and stained glass windows, rises majestically in the background. The carousel, decorated in Belle Epoque style with horses and carriages, adds a touch of magic to the atmosphere. Strasbourg, self-proclaimed Capital of Christmas, has hosted since 1570 the oldest Christmas market in France, the Christkindelsmärik, which attracts millions of visitors every year.
