EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Sergei Karpukhin, a church stands tall amidst a heavy snowfall in a remote settlement on the Pechora Sea island of Kolguyev in Russia's Nenets Autonomous District. The image showcases the sheer beauty and isolation of this eastern orthodox place of worship, as it stands alone against the backdrop of an empty, cold landscape. The creative use of white color highlights the purity and serenity that comes with winter's embrace, while also emphasizing the dangerous conditions brought about by extreme weather. The fog adds an ethereal touch to the scene, further enhancing its mystical appeal. With no people present, one can't help but marvel at how nature has claimed its dominance over this frozen terrain. Despite being devoid of human presence, faith still finds solace within these walls as worshippers brave treacherous conditions to seek spiritual refuge. This photograph serves as a reminder that even in the harshest environments, places like this church continue to be symbols of hope and resilience for those who call this settlement home. It invites viewers to contemplate their own beliefs and find inspiration in both nature's grandeur and man-made structures built upon unwavering faith.
