Pakistan

Daniil Korzhonov captures the sublime beauty of Pakistan’s highlands at dawn, where the jagged peaks of the Karakoram are kissed by golden light and mirrored in a glassy lake. The scene, framed by a dark, cloud-streaked sky, evokes a sense of serene grandeur. The stillness of the water creates a near-perfect symmetry, doubling the visual impact of the illuminated snow. Sparse silhouettes along the shore add scale and solitude, emphasizing the vastness of the landscape. This image is a testament to the raw, untouched beauty of one of the world’s most remote mountain regions.
