Peak reflection

In the quiet stillness of the Arctic twilight, a jagged snow-covered peak stands sentinel over a partially frozen lake, its image perfectly mirrored in the dark, glassy water. Drifting ice floes edge the frame, hinting at the slow, relentless motion of the season. The sky, a deep indigo, blends with the mountain’s silhouette, creating a scene of profound calm and isolation. This is nature at its most pristine—where time seems to pause, and the world reflects not just in water, but in silence. Photographer Georgiy Bichkovskiy captures the sublime balance between land, ice, and sky.
