Nature Brings it All Together

Photographer's Statement:

In this photo we see a bridge and trees growing around it. The snow has just fallen and is now melting. The water from the snow reflects this beauty and adds depth showing that spring is coming. The red contrasts with all the white and gray colors. The trees working with the bridge showing that this human creation can work with nature. The trees grow but are dormant the snow melting priming them for the spring.
