Snow was blowing on the trees in the submerged forest, creating a scene that could be called nature's abstract art, combining simple patterns of limited colors and straight lines. Some people may think that winter is not the best time to enjoy natural scenery because the leaves are falling and the trees lack color, but I believe it is the best season to enjoy the patterns in nature, especially the beautiful patterns created by dense trees.
