This image depicts the exterior of the Sochi International Airport (Adler Airport) terminal building in Sochi, Russia, captured during late afternoon or early evening under a partly cloudy sky. The central subject is the multi-story airport terminal, characterized by a prominent, curved, metallic-grey roof extending outward as an overhang. Its facade is composed primarily of reflective glass panels, displaying reflections of the sky and surroundings. Visible within the glass facade are illuminated signs for "H&M" in red and "Burger King." In the foreground, a paved pedestrian walkway constructed of interlocking grey pavers curves towards the right. It is bordered by a silver metal barrier (railing) on the left and a low, curved white concrete wall on the right. To the left of the walkway, a large, multi-colored spherical object, possibly a sculpture or decorative globe, is partially visible. A "no stopping" traffic sign is also present on the left. Adjacent to the pedestrian area, a paved roadway or parking area contains several vehicles. A white sedan, identifiable as a Mercedes-Benz with a Russian license plate "M900AA 93," is positioned facing away from the viewer. Other parked cars are visible further down the road. A dark grey minivan is parked on the right, near which two or three individuals are standing. Additional people are visible in the mid-ground, walking near the road or terminal entrance. The background reveals an urban environment with multi-story buildings, including an older structure with classical architectural elements on the left. Palm trees are dispersed throughout the scene, enhancing the regional context. The sky transitions from a soft orange-yellow near the horizon to a lighter blue-grey overhead, with scattered stratocumulus clouds. Artificial lighting from within the terminal and from streetlights is becoming apparent against the dimming natural light.
