Fans of science and nature will appreciate quickly that the changing seasons from winter to summer is one of the best direct indications of the earth’s cosmic movement we will find.

In astronomical terms the minute change in distance from and angle to the sun is very small. Yet it is sufficient to create the drop in general temperature that we experience in the winter months. This change in angle is also why it’s far colder as you head further north. Just as you might toast a marsh mellow on an open fire the side exposed to the heat cooks first.

Not that we are going to cook on planet Earth in quite the same way. Yet it does show how small changes in direction can dramatically disperse the heat around the globe. As the seasons change across the year, you can imagine our beautiful planet slowly rocking back and forth on its axis.

The good news is that the changing seasons present great photo opportunities for amateur and professional photographers alike to snap some amazing winter pictures.

Although some people may hate the winter cold, it is undeniable that winter is a necessary part of our life cycle. Consequently, these achingly beautiful winter landscapes will soon be full of new life.

The heavy snow and ice that covers much of the hemisphere in the winter is a force of nature with few equal.

Over thousands of years the majority of earthly plants and animals have adapted to the change of seasons. Hence the cold grip of winter simply allows plants and animals to hibernate or migrate to other parts of the planet. These changes allow for some amazing winter pictures and landscapes.
