An aerial image captures a vast natural landscape in Manskii, Russia

An aerial image captures a vast natural landscape in Manskii, Russia. A wide, serpentine river, appearing gray to silver under indirect light, dominates the middle ground, flowing through a pronounced S-curve. The river is flanked on both sides by extensive, dense forests covering rolling hills and valleys. The forest canopy is primarily dark green, with noticeable patches of lighter green and distinct areas of yellow foliage in the foreground, suggesting autumn conditions. In the distance, multiple layers of hazy blue-gray mountains extend to the horizon. The sky occupies the upper third of the frame, displaying a light blue color with scattered white and gray cumulus clouds. Low-angle sunlight emanates from the right side of the frame, casting a warm, yellowish glow on the horizon and illuminating parts of the clouds. No human structures, vehicles, or individuals are discernible within the scene.
