First Snowfall |
The first snowfall often presents a common challenge. Indigenous people have weathered through the Saskatchewan winters and they well know what is ahead. People new to the country are often thrilled with the beauty of it all, but yet are afraid of the harsh unknown realities that they have to prepare to face.
This is true metaphorically, and in reality. People require support and understanding when struggling with change and uncertainty.
This drawing was done from a photo of a woman taken by Jeff Farschman on Feb. 25, 2016. Location: Semarang - a port city on the north coast of Java, Indonesia.
