Frozen Sentinels

Frozen sentinels, all in a row.

❄️

Bare limbs stretch towards the sky.

❄️❄️

Snow-covered benches sitting lonely and empty.

❄️❄️❄️

A fresh layer of fluffy snow

❄️❄️❄️❄️

Slate grey skies, laden with snowflakes

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

An impenetrable chill in the air

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

Frosty air full of icy crystals

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

A barren park longing for Spring

❄️❄️❄️❄️

Watched over by the towering guards

❄️❄️❄️

Dozing off through the winter months

❄️❄️

Dreaming of magical warmer Summer days

❄️

Warmly blanketed by Autumn’s loving embrace

    It paints a chilly yet peaceful scene, with the sentinels (trees) standing guard over an empty, snow-covered park. It’s like nature’s quiet pause before the seasons shift. Love the feeling of stillness and anticipation for Spring and Summer!
