EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a serene winter scene on the frozen Volkhov River in Staraya Ladoga, Leningrad Region, Russia. In the background stands the majestic Nikolsky Monastery, adding an element of faith and history to this picturesque landscape. The image was taken in January, showcasing the harshness of Russian winters. The desolate countryside is transformed into a mystical space as mist hovers above the icy river. A group of fishermen can be seen braving the freezing temperatures, engaged in their traditional winter fishing ritual. Isolated from civilization, they find solace amidst nature's beauty and tranquility. The monochrome composition adds a moody atmosphere to this remote village setting. The architectural treasure that is Nikolsky Monastery with its domed buildings stands as a symbol of religious devotion and pilgrimage for many Orthodox believers. As snow blankets everything around them, these brave individuals seek shelter under trees while pursuing their age-old craft. This awe-inspiring photograph by Nadia Isakova captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects upon the resilience and determination of those who call this rural region home. With its blend of adventure, history, and spirituality intertwined within Russia's vast landscapes, this print serves as both a visual delight and an invitation to explore one's own sense of wonderment in discovering new travel destinations.
