Alexey Kharitonov's Image
Alexey Kharitonov (Israel/Russia) finds art in unexpected perspectives across Russia’s northern swamps.
Alexey launched his drone from a narrow strip of land between a mosaic of small lakes.
He framed his picture around a dry, grassy mound encircled by ice, reflected pine silhouettes, and the autumn glow of sphagnum moss.
