Морозный день

The world is hushed under a blanket of snow as dawn breaks over a sleepy hillside village. Mist swirls through the valley, softening the edges of bare trees and ancient stone churches that stand sentinel above the frozen earth. Sunlight, faint but persistent, cuts through the haze, casting a golden glow on the snow-laden branches. This is not just a scene of cold—it’s a moment of quiet reverence, where time slows and the breath of winter is felt in every still air. Photographer Ilya Melikhov captures the fragile beauty of a frostbitten dawn, where nature and architecture coexist in silent harmony.
