That is amazing, and could be processed/interpreted in so many different ways, depending on one's frame of mind at the time. IT's quite beautiful.

@Kachina624, according to an image search the photo is from Abruzzo, Italy on Gran Sasso mountain. The earliest reference I found was from 2017,

There are quite a few postings of the photo on Pinterest.

I googled it. It was posted on Reddit 9 months ago and it is captioned "Frozen wind - Gran Sasso mountain (Abruzzo, Italy)". 9 months ago was May in Italy. Italy is in in the same hemisphere and latitude as the U.S.

@Mimi 1883 I think he just posted the picture, not that he actually took it.

As far as it being photographed in the month of May as another poster stated, you can certainly have snow on top of a mountain in May. We have Mt Washington in New Hampshire and the snow never goes away, even in July.

I don't care for snow and cold weather but this is still absolutely beautiful. I've seen this picture floating around on Facebook this winter.

Maybe you can post your pictures of ice like that in the picture taken in July. It would be interesting.

I wrote May is the date that the picture was posted in Redditt, not a date it was photographedd."

Another poster wrote she had seen the picture in the Internet from posts back in 2017, so the picture is not from May 2020.
