winterscape
Snowy seasonal vista
A winterscape is a landscape scene dominated by winter conditions—snow, bare trees, frozen water, muted colors.
The term appears most often in descriptions of art, photography, or scenic views: The painting captured a stark winterscape of leafless oaks and frozen fields.
Like other -scape formations (seascape, cityscape), it emphasizes the visual quality of a particular environment.
