This image captures a section of the Damascus Botanical Garden at the Faculty of Agriculture in Damascus, Syria, as indicated by an observable white sign with Arabic text. The scene is outdoors under a clear blue sky with bright daylight. In the foreground, a multi-strand wire fence spans horizontally, separating a dirt path on the left from a dense botanical display on the right. The display includes various cacti species: several paddle-shaped prickly pear cacti (Opuntia) laden with reddish-purple fruits, and multiple tall, segmented columnar cacti. Dominating the right side is a very large, deeply furrowed columnar cactus or tree trunk. Interspersed among the cacti are bushy plants with small white flowers and another shrub bearing small pink blooms. A dark, cylindrical object, possibly a light fixture or bollard, is partially visible near the bottom right, situated behind the fence. Two white informational signs with Arabic script are present among the plants, one clearly identifying "حديقة النباتات الدمشقية" (The Damascus Botanical Garden) and "كلية الزراعة" (Faculty of Agriculture). In the mid-ground, a slender, tall metal pole extends vertically. The background features extensive green foliage from various trees. Above the tree line, a light-colored, multi-story building is visible, its flat roof equipped with multiple communication antennas and air conditioning units. A segment of a construction crane's boom is discernible in the upper left background against the clear sky. No individuals are present in the frame.
