The image depicts a monumental white poplar tree, identified as Populus alba, located in the city of Balchik, Bulgaria. A circular wooden sign in front of the tree provides information. The sign states that the tree was declared a protected natural landmark in 1967 and is listed in Bulgaria's Register of Monumental Trees under No. 399. Its estimated age is over 320 years, with the sign indicating "2026 г." (likely referring to an update or renewal of information). The sign also features Bulgarian text and logos related to the University Botanic Gardens. The tree itself is massive, with a thick, gnarled trunk covered in rough bark and moss. Large roots are exposed at the base, spreading out across the ground. The surrounding environment appears to be a garden or park, with a stone wall visible in the background, along with lush greenery and a blue sky with clouds above. The area around the tree is cordoned off with a rope, suggesting it is a preserved natural monument. There are no people visible in the image. The scene is captured from a low angle, emphasizing the grandeur of the ancient tree.
