At night, a tall, ornately decorated, red Rostral Column topped with a blazing flame dominates the frame. The base of the monument is gray and adorned with green ship figureheads, shields and anchors. A stone statue of a seated male figure with a staff or trident is also part of the base. The sky is a deep twilight blue, and street lamps illuminate the area around the column. In the foreground, people are walking around, some standing and looking at the structure. A tent-like structure with red flags is visible on the left side of the scene.
