I took this snowy photo during the heavy restrictions of lockdown from my window, around the time when I first nicknamed my living room the Lagoon. I like the idea of combining this wintery scene with the palm tree, which to me is such a stereotypical image of summer. This could be seen as a visual metaphor which shows how difficult times pass, people persevere and things will bloom once again. 

Ironically, the palm tree image was not taken in some tropical country but in Millport on the Isle of Cumbrae, which perhaps represents that good times are not as far away as you might think.
