This image captures an outdoor scene featuring two informational signs or plaques dedicated to the "Borisov Stone" (also known as "Barysaŭ Kamen") in Polatsk, Belarus. The left sign is rectangular with a dark frame and a light metallic (likely silver-colored) face, supported by a black cylindrical pole anchored into gray concrete pavers. The sign displays text in two columns, presumably Belarusian on the left and Russian on the right, accompanied by a coat of arms-like emblem at the top center. The text provides historical details, indicating the stone is a glacial boulder, approximately 8 meters in circumference, weighing 26.5 tons. It mentions its original location on the right bank of the Western Dvina (Заходняй Дзвіны) and its installation on the territory of the Upper Castle (Верхняга замка) in 1981. It also references Prince Boris (князя Барыса) and the 12th century (XII ст.), and states that the stone is included in the list of historical and cultural values of the Republic of Belarus. The right sign is shield-shaped, with a light metallic face and a dark blue or gray border. It is affixed with screws, similar to the left sign. At its top, the national emblem of Belarus is prominently displayed. Below the emblem, the sign is primarily in Belarusian, reading "РЭСПУБЛІКА БЕЛАРУСЬ" (Republic of Belarus), followed by "ГІСТОРЫКА-КУЛЬТУРНАЯ КАШТОЎНАСЦЬ" (Historical and Cultural Value). The main subject is identified as "БАРЫСАЎ КАМЕНЬ" (Borisov Stone) from the "XII СТАГОДДЗЕ" (XII Century). At the bottom, a warning states: "ПРЫЧЫНЕННЕ ШКОДЫ АБО ЗНІШЧЭННЕ КАРАЕЦЦА ПА ЗАКОНУ" (Causing damage or destruction is punishable by law). The immediate foreground consists of a clean, gray, interlocking concrete paver surface, which forms a pathway or plaza. The black support pole of the left sign is visible extending from the pavers. The background is a well-maintained, lush green lawn or grassy area, indicating a park-like or landscaped environment. No people or animals are present in the image. The lighting is even, suggesting an overcast day.
