Долгие Горы

As dusk settles over the Long Mountains, the world is hushed beneath a thick blanket of snow. A narrow stream cuts through the white expanse, its dark surface a stark contrast to the surrounding stillness. A single bare tree rises defiantly from the slope, a quiet witness to the season’s quiet power. In the distance, gentle hills roll under a sky painted in soft pinks and grays, hinting at the sun’s fleeting presence. This is not a scene of action, but of profound stillness—nature holding its breath, waiting for spring’s first whisper. Photographer Daniil Korzhonov captures this moment with a painterly eye, emphasizing the delicate balance between cold and light, isolation and beauty.
