At the break of dawn, a lone stag emerges from the fog-laden depths of the woods, its antlers catching the first rays of sunlight like a crown of fire. The air is thick with stillness, the trees standing as silent witnesses to this sacred moment. Sunbeams slice through the canopy, illuminating swirling mist and casting long, dramatic shadows. The scene feels timeless, as if the stag is not merely an animal, but a guardian of the forest’s hidden lore. This image, captured by Vitaliy Gulyaev, blends raw nature with poetic reverence, inviting viewers to pause and witness the quiet majesty of the wild.
