To celebrate the surreal sublimity of the season of snow, here is a superb slideshow of some of the most beautiful and breathtaking pictures of winter. All the photos exhibited here are courtesy of the beneficent photographers from Unsplash and Pexels. If you don’t know, Unsplash and Pexels are two amazing websites featuring millions of stunning photos donated by the world’s most generous photographers, all available for free for anyone to download and to do with as they please.
Normally, I would slightly modify on Lightroom the photos I download from Unsplash and Pexels before featuring them on my website, not because I find them lacking or displeasing, mind you, but simply to match the look and feel of my blog. But for these pictures of winter, I deemed it best to leave them unaltered, so you can fully appreciate and admire the original style and creativity of the photographers. However, most of the photos, particularly those in portrait mode, and to a lesser extent, those in landscape, have been cropped to fit within the slides. Please note that all the credits are linked to the original photos (as I always do) and to the respective Unsplash or Pexels accounts of the photographers, so you can browse their fine photographic portfolios and discover more of their amazing works.
That being said, go ahead and enjoy this slideshow of spectacular pictures of winter, and may these remind you that even in the coldest season, the world never stops being beautiful.
