EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Denis Sinyakov, the Church of Pokrov on Nerli stands tall and majestic, its reflection shimmering in a pool of floodwater. The village of Bogolyubovo, located 190 km east of Moscow, becomes an enchanting backdrop as frogs engage in their instinctual mating ritual amidst the water. The image captures a harmonious blend of nature and religion, where faith intertwines with the beauty found in the natural world. As the church symbolizes spirituality and devotion, it is mirrored by the resilience and vitality displayed by these amphibians. The flooded surroundings create a unique setting for this extraordinary moment to unfold. Lush green grasses and algae-covered plants add texture to the composition while emphasizing the abundance brought forth by water's presence. Sinyakov's elevated viewpoint allows us to appreciate both microcosm and macrocosm simultaneously - from intricate details like individual blades of grass or reflections on rippling water to broader perspectives encompassing both church and pond. This photograph serves as a reminder that even during challenging times when floods disrupt daily life, there is still room for wonderment and awe-inspiring encounters with nature. It invites contemplation about our place within this vast universe – where human constructs meet forces beyond our control yet remain intricately connected through shared existence.
