Images of Winter : The White Witch
The White Witch from The Chronicles of Narnia the poster image
The White Witch was C.S. Lewis' incarnation of Lucifer in the land of Narnia. Played by Tilda Swinton in the popular film adaptation, she embodied a power craving amorailty that seemed all too human at times. The beautiful, frigid imagery of her cold domain was captured vividly, and was even brought inside Hollywood's El Capitan Theatre with a fall of special effects "snow" onto movie audiences at each performance.
