The image shows the statue of the "Crying Angel" (also known as the "Angel of Tears") memorial in Minsk, Belarus, situated on an embankment along the Svislach River. The bronze statue depicts a grieving angel with one wing. It is set within a large, rough-hewn granite stone that forms a basin. Several red flowers are placed within this basin. Behind the memorial, the Svislach River flows, with buildings visible along the opposite bank under a cloudy sky. The immediate foreground is paved with stone. A tree is visible along the upper left of the frame.
