EDITORS COMMENTS
In this aerial view, a group of men can be seen meticulously crafting a cross-shaped ice hole on the frozen Yenisei River. The photograph was taken on the eve of Orthodox Epiphany, with the air temperature plummeting to an astonishing minus 25 degrees Celsius (minus 13 degrees Fahrenheit) outside Krasnoyarsk, Russia. The frigid exterior and unrecognizable figures are enveloped in a vast open space covered in pristine white snow. As sunlight pierces through the winter sky, casting long shadows across the icy terrain, these real people diligently prepare for their religious ceremony. The creative use of perspective allows us to witness their progress from above. Their tracks etched into the snow serve as a testament to their journey towards spirituality and connection with nature. Silhouetted against this frozen backdrop, they engage in angling activities while leaving ample copy space for contemplation. This image beautifully captures both the harshness and serenity of winter weather. It showcases how humans adapt to extreme environments while maintaining reverence for tradition and faith. Ilya Naymushin's skillful photography transports viewers into an ethereal world where nature reigns supreme and human determination prevails even amidst freezing temperatures.
