This has been a cold winter so far in New York, with heap of snow storms and freezing temperatures have sent most public indoors to look warmth under fuzzy blanket with hot chocolate in hand. Photographer Dina Litovsky takes this opportunity to go outside to document the amazing landscapes in central park. She born in Ukarine and then moved to New York 20 years back.  She is expressing her feelings “I expected it to be scenic but was just overwhelmed by how beautiful everything was, and the park, normally booming with energy and life and vibrant colors, is completely bleak and dreary”. These photographs show the accumulations of snow covering everything in a quiet, wintery wonderland. She has captured extremely breathtaking images that convey a few rare moments of quiet in an otherwise bustling city.Source: Charismatic Planet
