EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the serene beauty and spiritual significance of Solovetsky Monastery on the Solovetsky Islands in Russia. The monastery complex, with its imposing stone walls and onion-domed churches, is reflected perfectly in the still waters of the Holy Lake. The peaceful scene is further enhanced by the presence of a solitary pilgrim, who sits in quiet contemplation at the water's edge. The jetty, jutting out into the lake, creates a sense of connection between the pilgrim and the monastery, as if bridging the gap between the earthly world and the divine. The tranquility of the scene is a testament to the enduring power of faith and the transformative effect it can have on the human spirit. This photograph, taken in 2010 by Hubertus Kanus, offers a glimpse into the timeless beauty and solitude of the Russian Orthodox tradition.
