The colour of a fallen angel



Few things are as sad as the sight of the remnants of snow.

How that powdery white blanket of pristine dazzling beauty vanishes, leaving behind, where the heavier drifts had been, a slowly melting crystallized mass of dirty ice surrounded by black sludge.


Like the plumage of an angel that has fallen from grace...
