The landscape conveys the atmosphere of the western Sayan Mountains and the Ergaki Nature Reserve — a region of majestic peaks and wild, almost untouched nature. The summer season here is brief, from mid-June to mid-August, after which autumn and the first frosts arrive. The scene captures the last days of summer, when the valleys and lake shores are already painted in golden and red hues, signaling the approach of autumn. Mist envelops the mountains in a dense veil, obscuring their silhouettes and creating a sense of vast, expansive space. Within this haze, natural details stand out vividly: dwarf birches glowing almost red, golden alders, and evergreen firs retaining their rich color in the cool air, forming a harmonious contrast of tones. These mountains were a place of childhood for the artist: each summer from the age of nine, he spent several weeks, sometimes a month, living in tents and exploring this unique landscape. For him, Ergaki is a special place, where one can recharge, experience the strength and beauty of nature, find solitude, and restore inner harmony. The composition emphasizes the depth of space and the grandeur of the mountains, conveying both a sense of freedom and an intimate connection with the surrounding world.
