Imagine... Spring!
It's not too early to imagine the blossoms that will join ranks with the snowdrops and daffodils, and count the varieties of flowers that appear as the days get longer. In the quiet depths of winter we can think forward to the green growth of spring and take comfort in our dreams of colourful petals to sweep away the cold, dark-day blues of January.

Explore the natural world through a snow-covered lens and discover mesmerising spectacles from Norway, Greenland, Canada and more.
