Сон-трава

In the quiet hush of a Yakutian dawn, the sun’s first rays pierce through icy branches, gilding the delicate petals of pasqueflowers—known locally as “сон-трава”—as they emerge from the frost. These resilient blooms, nestled among dry grasses and frozen earth, symbolize the fragile return of life after long winter. Photographer Evgeniya Levina captures the ephemeral interplay of light, ice, and color, revealing nature’s quiet triumph. Each droplet on the branches sparkles like a tiny star, while the soft purple hues of the flowers stand in gentle contrast to the golden glow. This is not just a photograph—it’s a testament to endurance, beauty, and the quiet poetry of the Arctic spring.
