As we wrap up 2025, we couldn«t resist selecting the most photogenic frames that appeared on 63.RU over the past 12 months. To capture them, our photographer, along with journalists, climbed to the city»s highest vantage points, and sometimes literally crawled on the ground, tried different lenses on his equipment, strove to see beauty in the everyday, spent hours selecting and processing the best shots, and even trembled with fear and ran from dogs.

Check out the most beautiful shots (according to the editorial team) from this year and tell us what you think in the comments.
