The U. S. Capitol dome can be seen behind piles of snow removed from parking areas
The U.S. Capitol dome can be seen behind piles of snow removed from parking areas and walkways around the Capitol grounds in Washington January 26, 2016. The snowbound Washington area was resuming partial business on Tuesday as trains and buses restarted near-normal service, while federal offices remained closed following a massive blizzard that hammered the U.S. East Coast.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the aftermath of a massive blizzard that swept through Washington, D. C. The iconic U. S. Capitol dome stands tall and proud in the background, its grandeur contrasting with the piles of snow that have been meticulously removed from parking areas and walkways around the Capitol grounds. Taken on January 26,2016, this low angle view showcases the sheer volume of snow that blanketed the city during this historic storm. As trains and buses resume near-normal service, it is evident that life is slowly returning to normalcy in Washington. However, federal offices remain closed as they continue to recover from the impact of this natural disaster. The image portrays a sense of resilience amidst nature's fury. The cold air and frozen landscape are juxtaposed against a clear sky dotted with clouds – a testament to both the harshness and beauty of winter weather. With no people present in the frame, one can truly appreciate how nature has temporarily reclaimed these urban spaces. Jonathan Ernst's creative use of composition highlights not only Congress USA but also emphasizes our delicate relationship with wildlife and environment. This photograph serves as a reminder of our vulnerability in face of Mother Nature's power while showcasing her ability to transform even familiar landmarks into ethereal scenes.
