A New York City scene in a snowfall. A leafless tree with snow-covered branches stands in the middle of a wide and mostly empty plaza dusted with snow. In front of it are traffic barriers of different kinds: a low concrete wall extending from left frame, some metal bollards, a row of snow-covered rocks. A tall blue kiosk rises up at the tree’s right. Farther right is a solitary figure in a dark coat and light scarf walking away from camera. Beyond is a wide intersection, with parked cars, lampposts, distant traffic lights, a flash of yellow from a cab. Tall buildings rise all around, dwarfing the tree. The sky is a featureless gray. The air is full of snowflakes that soften and lighten the scene, causing a few elements — the dark tree trunk, the pedestrian’s coat, the blue kiosk, the yellow cab — to stand out against the whiteness around them.

Photo of a snow-covered community garden. In the distance at the center of the image are two teal plastic lawn chairs with curved backs and armrests, their upper surfaces coated in inches of snow. The chairs are surrounded and visually framed by the garden’s plants and trees, all with dark leafless branches outlined and emphasized by their snowy coverings. At the garden’s far end is the dark brick facade of a building. The scene has a magical, enclosed snow-globe feel, like the setting for the beginning of a fairy tale.

Windows in a red brick apartment building — four on a lower floor and four on an upper floor — behind dark, leafless tree branches outlined in white snow. A yellow lamp shines through the third window from left on the lower level. Fat snowflakes drift down in front of the scene.

You can see a winter scene in the bavarian alps. The mountains are snow covered as are the trees. The sky is blue with some small low clouds.
