A boy plays with his dog in a snow-covered park in Ankara
A boy plays with his dog in a snow-covered park in Ankara March 9, 2011. A snow storm and blizzard caused inter-city motorways and roads at the countryside in parts of Turkey to shut down as two days of uninterrupted snowfall in the capital Ankara plunged the citys traffic into chaos. Major routes were cluttered with stuck vehicles on Tuesday evening, forcing car drivers and passengers of public transport to walk to their homes, Anatolian News Agency said.

In this print captured by Umit Bektas, we are transported to a snow-covered park in Ankara on March 9,2011. Despite the chaos caused by a recent snowstorm and blizzard that shut down inter-city motorways and roads across Turkey, a heartwarming scene unfolds before our eyes. A young boy can be seen playfully engaging with his furry companion amidst the pristine white landscape. The image showcases the aftermath of the storm, as untouched snow blankets every surface. The unrecognizable figures of people walking in the distance add to the atmospheric charm of this winter wonderland. The dog's tracks create an artistic pattern in the snow, leading us towards their playful interaction. The contrast between nature's wintry beauty and human presence is strikingly evident here. The boy's joyous expression and carefree demeanor highlight his innocence against nature's backdrop. His connection with his loyal canine friend transcends language barriers as they frolic together in harmony. This photograph captures a fleeting moment frozen in time – one that reminds us of the simple pleasures found even amidst chaotic circumstances. It serves as a reminder of how animals can bring solace during challenging times and how children possess an innate ability to find happiness regardless of external conditions. Umit Bektas skillfully encapsulates both beauty and resilience within this single frame, leaving viewers captivated by its charm long after it was taken.
