EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Robert Sorbo, a snowman with an umbrella stands tall in a Renton, Washington neighborhood. However, it is not just any ordinary snowman; it is covered entirely in ice. The image perfectly encapsulates the aftermath of severe ice storms that have plagued the Puget Sound region. The freezing temperatures and icy conditions have caused widespread power outages and downed trees throughout the area. Sadly, these treacherous weather conditions have even claimed a life near Issaquah, Washington. The close-up shot highlights every intricate detail of the frozen sculpture. The snowman's stone-like appearance gives off an air of resilience against nature's harsh elements. Its rubber gloves suggest that someone took great care to create this masterpiece despite the challenging circumstances. With no people in sight, the snowman stands alone as a symbol of winter's mightiness. A vibrant red scarf wrapped around its neck adds a touch of color amidst the monochromatic scene. The creative use of an umbrella adds an unexpected element to this wintry tableau. It serves both as protection from precipitation and as a reminder that even amid adversity, there can be moments of whimsy and creativity. This photograph beautifully captures the essence of winter - coldness, beauty, and unpredictability all rolled into one frozen moment in time.
