The image displays an outdoor public space, specifically a promenade or viewing platform, on a clear, sunny day in Ufa, Russia. The primary subject is a large, grey metal sculpture, identified as the "Shazhamy" (Family Tree) monument, situated near Salavat Yulaev Square overlooking the Belaya River. The sculpture occupies the central foreground, anchored by a square diamond-plate metal base on a paved surface of interlocking rectangular bricks. It consists of a thick, cylindrical grey pole with a flared, conical base. The pole supports a wide, curved, dark grey ring-shaped canopy at its apex. The canopy features cut-out patterns along its outer edge, resembling traditional Bashkir ornaments. Numerous chains hang from the underside of this canopy, each suspending multiple flat, ornate metallic discs of various shapes and sizes, including circles, ovals, and complex openwork designs. These discs are predominantly silver-toned, with some appearing darker. The sun is positioned in the upper left quadrant, creating a strong lens flare and long shadows extending from the sculpture and other objects across the paved ground. To the left of the central sculpture, a tall, ornate black streetlight with three lamps is partially visible. Further back, a low, light-grey concrete barrier or wall marks the edge of the promenade. Behind this barrier, a dark park bench is present, on which a single individual is seated, facing away from the viewer towards the distant panorama. Near the bench, a dark cylindrical trash receptacle is visible. Beyond the barrier, a sprawling urban landscape is visible, characterized by low-rise buildings and numerous bare trees, suggesting a non-summer season. A distant horizon line implies a river or expansive flat terrain. Another ornate black streetlight with three lamps stands to the right of the central sculpture, and a single-lamp streetlight is positioned directly behind the hanging discs. On the far right, a vertical structure composed of green slats or mesh is partially visible. The sky is clear and light blue with no cloud cover.
