This nighttime image captures the Monument of the Holy Mother of God (also known as the Monument of the Mother of God) in Haskovo, Bulgaria, as viewed from a street level looking uphill. In the center-left, a large, light-colored stone statue of the Virgin Mary holding the Child Jesus stands atop a massive, multi-tiered stone pedestal. The statue is illuminated, highlighting its details, and festive white string lights are draped around the base of the statue on the pedestal. Below the statue, on the main vertical face of the pedestal, a square panel featuring a colorful mosaic or stained-glass depiction (possibly a heart or emblem in red and yellow tones) is visible. To the right and slightly behind the monument, a church bell tower or dome, illuminated with a warm, golden light, rises above the trees, topped with a white cross. Surrounding the monument and extending across the midground is a steep, landscaped incline densely covered in dark green evergreen bushes or shrubs. A stone retaining wall is partially visible on the far left. On the right side of the incline, a flight of concrete stairs with white handrails ascends the slope. In the foreground, an asphalt road runs horizontally across the bottom of the frame, showing faint cracks and a subtle sheen from the artificial light. A white crosswalk is partially visible on the left side of the road. A stone-paved sidewalk borders the road on both the left and right. Several tall streetlights with bright, starburst-like flares illuminate the scene, casting strong light rays into the dark, overcast night sky. No people are present in the image.
