Winter isn’t just about shoveling driveways and shivering in the cold. For those with a bit of imagination, a fresh blanket of snow is the ultimate blank canvas.
From giant puns on a sidewalk to ghosts that got caught in the frost, these 8 photos show that a little bit of freezing weather is no match for a great sense of humor. When the world turns white, it’s the perfect time to remind everyone that nature can be just as funny as it is beautiful.

1. The Frozen Ghost
There is such a thing as “too cold to haunt.” This unfortunate spirit seems to have been caught mid-scare during a record-breaking frost, ending up as a permanent (at least until spring) addition to the building’s architecture. It’s a perfect example of how a bit of ice and the right location can create an accidental masterpiece.
2. Giant Eyeglasses by Pavel Puhov in Russia
The late Pavel Puhov, also known as Pasha P183, was famous for his “street installations.” By using a simple streetlight as the temple piece for a giant pair of glasses drawn in the snow, he transformed a lonely park into a character. It’s a brilliant use of scale and existing urban elements.
3. Snow Angel Frog by David Zinn
David Zinn is the king of small-scale magic. Here, he’s used a simple hole in the snow to house one of his signature characters, making it look like the little guy just completed a very successful snow angel. It’s a quiet, whimsical interaction that rewards those who are actually looking where they walk.

4. The Mailbox Eater
This is one way to ensure you never get bills. Someone turned their mailbox into the wide-open mouth of a snow monster, complete with a leafy crown. It’s a great example of “guerrilla” winter art that turns a boring household chore into a reason for neighbors to stop and smile.
5. “Two Feet” of Snow
A literal pun is sometimes the best kind of art. Instead of complaining about the accumulation, these residents spent their time sculpting two massive, realistic feet on the sidewalk. It’s a visual joke that lands perfectly for anyone who has ever heard a weather report warn about “two feet of snow.”
6. Dromeas (The Runner) in Athens, Greece
Usually, this iconic sculpture made of stacked glass shards looks like it’s mid-sprint through the Mediterranean heat. But when a rare snowstorm hits Athens, the glass captures the white frost, making the “Runner” look like an ice-giant charging through the city. It shows how weather can completely redefine a permanent statue.
7. The Snow Cats
Simple, effective, and adorable. By packing snow against the bark of trees in a local park, someone created a family of white cats “climbing” to the safety of the branches. It’s a low-effort, high-impact way to add a bit of life to a dormant winter forest.
8. Sledding Into Reality by David Zinn
Another David Zinn masterpiece where the art “leaks” out of the environment. A tiny alien character is seen sledding out of a massive snow pile and onto the bare pavement. It’s a clever use of the transition between the shoveled path and the winter piles, making the sidewalk feel like a playground.
