Virga Above the Peaks
In this striking image by Galina Hvostenko, a powerful display of nature unfolds across the Altai landscape. Dark storm clouds loom overhead as virga—rain that evaporates before reaching the ground—drifts down toward the earth. The sun breaks through momentarily, casting warm light on the slopes of the Kurai Range and highlighting the quiet expanse of the steppe below. Sparse trees stand resilient against the vastness, completing a scene both serene and intense.
