The Azov Sivash (now occupied).

A serene sunset over calm, crystal-clear water, with the sun casting a golden-orange glow as it sinks toward the horizon. Scattered clouds, tinged with soft pink and amber hues, drift around the fading light, their reflections mirrored perfectly on the still surface. The sky transitions from deep blue to warm tones, blending seamlessly into the tranquil scene. Lush green Scirpus plants line the edges, their silhouettes swaying gently in the evening breeze.
