The image captures a large, circular brass or bronze plaque embedded in a paved public square in Rostov-on-Don, Russia. This ornate monument functions as a geographical compass rose, featuring a stylized map of the world at its core. Concentric rings of Cyrillic text surround the central design, listing major world cities and regions, each accompanied by a numerical distance, likely indicating kilometers from Rostov-on-Don. Visible city names include "ПАРИЖ" (Paris), "ЛОНДОН" (London), "ВАШИНГТОН" (Washington), "МОСКВА" (Moscow), "РИО-ДЕ-ЖАНЕЙРО" (Rio de Janeiro), "МЕХИКО" (Mexico City), "МАДРИД" (Madrid), "РИМ" (Rome), "КЕЙПТАУН" (Cape Town), "АНТАРКТИДА" (Antarctica), "ВЛАДИВОСТОК" (Vladivostok), and "ТОКИО" (Tokyo). Associated distances such as 2764, 2896, 8595, 960, 11335, 11560, 3524, 2227, 9239, 14772, 6819, and 6004 are inscribed. Cardinal directions (N, E, S, W) and other directional markers (Z, O, M) are clearly marked around the perimeter. The plaque is laid into a ground composed of grey rectangular paving stones. In the upper and lower left sections of the frame, several individuals are seen walking, indicated by their lower legs and feet, suggesting a public space with pedestrian traffic. The lighting is bright and even, characteristic of daytime under clear skies. Green foliage is visible along the far left edge of the scene, indicating nearby landscaping. The overall impression is a civic landmark designed for public interaction and information.
