Description

Genly Ai and Therem Harth rem ir Estraven on their epic trek across the polar ice cape of the planet Gethen, aka Winter.

How does one paint White Weather?? That condition were the light is so intense and so diffuse, being reflected from sky and ice in all directions, that you can't see anything because there are no shadows to outline the shapes of your surroundings?

Illustration for "The Left Hand of Darkness" by Ursula K. Le Guin.

This is the picture to go with the song - and there is the song to go with the picture - but I've removed it from my Myspace account, where I had posted it shortly, due to copyright restrictions (gotta be careful about those copyrights!!)
