EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Alexander Demianchuk, the enchanting spirit of the New Year comes to life in St. Petersburg, Russia. The image showcases a unique perspective as it is rotated 180 degrees, adding an intriguing twist to the scene. Reflected in a puddle at the center of the city, we see a beautifully adorned New Year tree standing tall and proud. Its vibrant lights and sparkling decorations illuminate the surroundings with festive cheer. Standing beside it is Father Frost, Russia's beloved equivalent of Santa Claus, dressed in his traditional attire. As pedestrians pass by on their daily journeys through the bustling streets of St. Petersburg, they inadvertently become part of this magical moment frozen in time. Their reflections ripple gently on the water's surface, blending reality with fantasy. This photograph encapsulates both tradition and modernity - a fusion that characterizes contemporary Russian culture. It symbolizes hope for new beginnings as one year transitions into another; a time when dreams are nurtured and wishes take flight. Through Demianchuk's lens, we are transported to this wintry wonderland where imagination knows no bounds. The image invites us to embrace joyous celebrations and cherish shared moments during this special season.
