Description

A tall snow-laden conifer dominates the right of the view, with more snow-covered pines and firs on the left and in the middle distance. A curving track runs through deep snow in the foreground, and snowy slopes with a few trees rise beyond under a pale sky. The photograph is mounted on a card with a printed caption strip along the bottom edge.

TROODOS UNDER SNOW. H. M. V. Fleming "The numerous hills around … are covered some with tall pines and others with small firs; and these verdant pyramids afford great variety … the whole was sweetly wild and agreeable." Alexander Drummond-1750 (Travels)
