Snow restores our faith in natural beauty transforming the familiar in the simplest way. The woods show the true magic where vivid contrasts reveal a world largely of black and white.
But colour breaks through in small doses even more effectively and reminds of those films of years ago which started in black and white then suddenly switched to colour. Everyone remembers the Oz film but there was also a film of Jean Cocteau I vaguely recall - perhaps Orpheus?
Even tiny patches of quite ordinary colour can make a huge impact in a world dominated by white.
