Great, emotive photographs still matter more than dumb social media posts. This year, People’s Choice Awards has nominated an image ‘Lake of Ice’, showing trees in the depth of winter, as the winner. The photo was the top liked in an online vote of 31,800.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The image was taken by Cristiano when he visited Santa Croce Lake in northern Italy, and noticed that the unusually high water was submerging some of the willow trees that fringed the edge of the lake. Inspired by the play of light and reflection on the lake’s icy surface, the scene reminded Cristiano of a dear late friend who had loved this special place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr Douglas Gurr, the Director of the Museum, says, ‘Cristiano’s poignant image symbolises the positive impact nature can have on our wellbeing and lives. It can provide solace and a space to reflect on the past and even spark hope for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
