Artwork of ruined city destroyed by blizzards

Description: Frozen city. Artwork of an abandoned city which has been destroyed by snowstorms. This could represent the effects of a very harsh winter, or even a new ice age. The ice ages were periods of abnormal cold in the Earth' history when ice sheets from the poles expanded and covered much of the planet. Alternatively, it could represent the effects of a nuclear winter. This is a hypothetical abrupt climate change following a nuclear war. Dust thrown into the atmosphere by hundreds of nuclear explosions would block the Sun's light and heat, leading to rapid cooling and much death and destruction.
