Whales live in the Altai mountains

I've always been inspired by the idea of ​​flying whales. The foggy atmosphere of the early morning was photographed by me. This direct road goes through the famous and sacred place of the Altai Republic - the Kurai steppe. The clouds and fogs were just beginning to recede from the mountains. And in this atmosphere I wanted to place a whale and take a photograph as a frame from an alternative reality of our planet.
