The image displays the ruins of the Elenska Basilica, situated near Pirdop, Bulgaria, against a mountainous backdrop. The central feature is a heavily fragmented structure composed primarily of reddish-brown bricks, with a base of grey stone blocks. The left section of the ruins presents a large, incomplete arched opening, while the right section consists of a tall, eroded, and irregularly shaped brick pillar. Smaller arched openings are visible towards the lower central part of the structure. The ground in the immediate foreground is covered in short green grass interspersed with scattered stones. In the background, deciduous trees on the left hill appear bare, while coniferous forests cover the right-side mountains, where patches of snow are visible on higher slopes. The sky above is clear blue with dispersed white cumulus clouds. No individuals or active subjects are present. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight.
