A lone tourist walks on the National Mall near the Lincoln Memorial during a snow storm in Washington March 5, 2015. A large winter storm reaching from Texas to southern New England, which prompted school closings and led to almost 2, 300 flight cancellations, had dumped over a foot (30 cm) of snow on parts of the eastern United States by early Thursday morning.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken by Joshua Roberts, a lone tourist braves the elements as they walk along the National Mall near the iconic Lincoln Memorial during a snowstorm in Washington. The image captures the serene beauty of nature's wintry embrace on an urban cityscape. The scene is set against a backdrop of heavy snowfall, with large flakes floating gently from the sky. The tourist, bundled up in warm clothing and carrying an umbrella for protection against the falling snowflakes, appears small and indistinct amidst the vastness of their surroundings. The composition of this photograph is truly remarkable. Roberts skillfully uses creative techniques such as vanishing point perspective to draw our eyes towards the distant monument. The elevated view adds depth to the image while highlighting the contrast between man-made structures and nature's icy touch. As we gaze at this frozen moment in time, we can almost feel ourselves walking alongside that solitary figure - experiencing both awe-inspiring beauty and chilling coldness simultaneously. It serves as a reminder of how nature can transform familiar landscapes into ethereal wonderlands. This photograph encapsulates not only the harshness of winter weather but also evokes a sense of tranquility and peacefulness amid chaos. It stands as a testament to human resilience in face of adversity – where even in solitude, one can find solace amidst Mother Nature's breathtaking creations.
