Dmitry Kokh is a wildlife and underwater photographer who is based in Moscow, Russia. In September 2021 he could capture a fascinating scene on the Kolyuchin island when he was coming back from a long trip.

Dmitry Kokh mentions "The stormy wind, rain, and neglected buildings on the rocky shores all served to make everything happening seem surreal. Suddenly, we noticed movement in the windows of the houses. Someone took out some binoculars and we saw the heads of polar bears!" That is whe...

When it comes to photography, there are different aspects. One may find it as a method of collecting memories, or another may find it as even a therapy.
