The Melting of Winter

Photographer's Statement:

Seasons of Change means that we watch it change from one season like the season of the winter to the next season in the spring. My photo relates to this as you can see the sun rising and slowly melting the snow as it begins to warm up. The lake isn’t frozen over either showing that the weather is starting to warm and change as it is starting to become the spring.
