Еленка

As the sun dips below the horizon, Lake Baikal transforms into a canvas of molten orange and deep indigo, mirrored perfectly in the fractured ice. The iconic rock of Еленка rises stark and silent, crowned in snow, anchoring the scene in timeless beauty. Cracks in the ice create a network of delicate veins, glowing faintly with the last light. This remote corner of Siberia, captured by Mikhail Ioannisian, reveals nature’s raw, serene power — a moment suspended between day and night, warmth and frost.
