What Snow Does to Sound

Fresh snowfall is the only weather you can hear by its absence.

Snow absorbs sound the way it absorbs colour — comprehensively, and overnight. A snowed-in landscape photographs like the world with its notifications switched off: same streets, same forests, volume removed.

The images here are studies in white on white — fence posts wearing hats, conifers holding armfuls, a single set of tracks that both spoils the blankness and completes it.

It is worth saying that snow scenes make winter screens feel intentional rather than bleak. December is coming either way; better to look as though you chose it.
