Autumn is flowing / Осень течет

In the heart of Bulgaria’s Staraplanina mountains, autumn breathes gently through a veil of morning mist. A quiet stream meanders over smooth stones, carrying fallen leaves like tiny boats on its journey. The forest stands still in contemplation — trees draped in amber and gold, their reflections shimmering softly in the water. This is not just a scene; it’s a moment suspended in time — where nature whispers rather than shouts, inviting viewers to pause, breathe, and feel the gentle rhythm of seasonal change. Photographer Aleksand'r Aleksandrov captures this fleeting harmony with poetic precision.
