Now, imagine the camera had zoomed in a little bit here so that the rearview mirror entirely was out of frame. Honestly, would you have known this was a car windshield? Without any context it almost looks like it could be a flurry of snow covered hills towering above a dark lake in some frozen northern latitude. That, or it could potentially pass as a very impressive winter landscape painting.
Knowing that it is indeed a car windshield, you really have to pity the poor driver. This is one of those tough jobs where they might have to go mix a vinegar (or rubbing alcohol) and water cocktail to soften up the ice before they can actually see anything.
