Wind rises

A powerful wind sweeps across a rugged alpine region, lifting snow and clouds around jagged peaks. The scene is dominated by stark contrasts—bright snow against deep shadows, light piercing through stormy skies. Dark rock formations in the foreground anchor the composition, while the distant summit glows faintly under a break in the clouds. The atmosphere is raw and untamed, capturing the elemental force of nature in a remote mountain environment. Photographer: Georgiy Bichkovskiy.
