3) Cold

4) Everything in this pictures exudes the cold. The spiky icicles make my shoulders cringe; the cringing feels similar to the clenching that happens in the cold. The grayish white color that covers the trees and lake promotes an uneasiness and a feeling of isolation. Because the branches with icicles interject the scene of the frozen lake and trees, there is a sharp tone to the picture; this tone mirrors the sharpness and suddenness of an intense cold blowing through. Everything is fragile, unstable, and slippery; I feel on edge when looking at this not only because of those qualities, but also because of the potential danger an icicle poses. Unfortunately, this image gives the cold a rather negative connotation. Though it can be an inviting winter wonderland, this landscape would only invite a brave soul.
