The scene depicts an elevated urban vista of Varna, Bulgaria, captured during either sunrise or sunset. The sky exhibits a gradient from pale blue at the zenith to orange and pink hues along the horizon. Two distinct, bright yellow, rectangular light reflections are present in the upper-left sky quadrant, originating from an internal light source reflecting off the viewing glass. A solitary dark bird is captured in mid-flight in the upper-right quadrant of the sky. The central feature on the distant horizon is a prominent, multi-story building, identifiable as the Oborishte hotel (also known as the old Shipka hotel), characterized by its brightly illuminated golden-yellow upper section. To its left, a smaller structure with a golden church dome, characteristic of the Dormition of the Theotokos Cathedral, rises above the surrounding city structures. Further left in the mid-ground, a modern white building with curved architectural elements and numerous windows is visible. The immediate foreground is occupied by a large, dark, curved roof structure with a distinct textured, scale-like tile pattern. The urban landscape comprises a dense arrangement of diverse residential and commercial buildings, predominantly multi-story, with visible rooftops, balconies, and numerous windows, some of which display interior illumination. Patches of bare deciduous trees are interspersed throughout the urban environment, indicating a winter or early spring season. Distant landforms are faintly discernible as a muted line along the far horizon.
