The climate on planet Earth is changing, and this is especially noticeable in the Arctic. Polar bears need ice to survive, but its area is shrinking ... This bear, looking like a health-resorter languishing in the heat, evokes a smile, but at the same time fears for the fate of all the inhabitants of the Arctic.

Ancient rocks about. The herald is mesmerizing with its pattern. What forces have folded rocks into such a picture ... I did not immediately notice two Ipatoks, most likely nesting behind the ledge of an ancient rock. Their short life in the Arctic is filled with no less drama than the riot of ancient elements.

That was the first morning of a three-week trip to Altai. And the most memorable. Since for all the next 20 days I have not experienced such strong emotions from shooting. I love fog very much, it is one of my favorite states of nature. And I went to the Kurai steppe with just such a dream - to find clouds wandering on the ground in this picturesque place.

On the tops of the Ural Mountains, very strong winds are common, creating drifting snow - the movement of snow along the surface of the earth. During dawn, when the sun just appears over the horizon, you can see how this drift "lights up" - illuminated by red light from the rising sun.

1st place in the category "Reserved Russia"

It was constantly pouring from the sky that day. That rain, then a downpour, then drizzle. There was also occasional sailing. All this caused a lot of trouble in our camp. But there were several times when the elements took a break, and the active return of water to heaven began. At such moments, I dropped everything and ran after the camera, hidden in the tent from the humidity. I remember that seeing how the peaks, popularly called Parabola, begin to appear from the clouds, I rushed behind the camera and barely managed to take just a couple of shots while this state remained. After a few clicks of the shutter, everything instantly disappeared, and this did not happen again, despite the unchanging conditions that lasted all day. Krasnoyarsk region, natural park Ergaki.

Ergaki are known for their raw and sullen disposition. So that day the weather did not spoil, whistling its favorite local melody. And we sat in tents, worn out by the wind and rain. When all the mournful song stopped drumming on the tents, we looked out in the hope of the mercy of the elements. And she also gave us a bonus. Krasnoyarsk Territory, Ergaki Natural Park.
