Week 4- Canyons of Snow

Sheer brightness and color has been added to this scene to make it remarkable in and of itself. It gives us a sense of brightness and happiness from the past gloomy pictures. It seems more upbeat and alive. The mountains have taken life and are no longer strangled by the smog in the city. We can see a bare shore with grass, rocks, and plants. The wildlife is back, but now more abundant. The sheer shape of the ice as it approaches the shore is completely different and appears to finally begin to melt. The snow banks begin to erode like a rock formation in the Moab Desert. The wind patterns are seen on that snow and it looks like many small valleys or canyons of snow. On the shore itself, one can physically see the water being pushed up and over the ice as it comes into the shore from the melting lake. It’s as if there is a trace of sea foam lying on the shore, but really it is just water carved into the ice as it slowly carves and melts it away.
