A high-angle, low-light photograph captures the Monument to Saint Sophia in Sofia, Bulgaria, at night

A high-angle, low-light photograph captures the Monument to Saint Sophia in Sofia, Bulgaria, at night. The statue, appearing golden due to illumination, depicts a crowned female figure standing atop a tall, unseen pedestal. She wears a draped gown, holding a wreath or laurel in her outstretched left hand and a bird (possibly an owl) in her raised right hand. The monument is specifically located at the intersection of Knyaginya Maria Luiza Boulevard and Todor Alexandrov Boulevard in central Sofia. The statue is prominently positioned against a dark, featureless night sky. In the lower-left foreground, a traffic light displays both red and amber illumination simultaneously. Several utility poles are present: one vertical pole extends from the bottom to near the top of the frame to the left of the statue, while another pole on the right side features multiple attached fixtures, including what appears to be a street camera or light unit. Streaks of white light, consistent with light sources like vehicle headlights, traverse the lower and middle portions of the image. The lower-left area of the scene is suffused with a reddish-orange glow, primarily emanating from the illuminated traffic light. No individuals are visible. The image exhibits significant grain and softness due to the low-light conditions.
