A tranquil stream cascades over dark boulders through a vivid autumn landscape in the Khibiny Mountains of Russia’s Kola Peninsula. The tundra bursts with reds, oranges, and yellows, contrasting with the gray rock and distant peaks. Above, clouds drift across a bright sky, casting dynamic light across the valley. This remote northern scene captures the raw beauty of the Arctic wilderness in fall. Photographer: Istomin Vitaliy.
