In the midst of a Winter Storm, photographer Michele Palazzo braved the blustery weather in hopes that he’d capture a one-of-a-kind shot.

Fortunately, he came across New York City’s Flatiron Building and that’s when something magical happened.

As tufts of snow swirled in the wind, Palazzo aimed his Ricoh GR camera and photographed the building, surrounding streets, and meteorological conditions.

After enhancing the image in VSCO Cam, the artist noticed that the snow swirls created patterns resembling swift brush strokes.

As a whole, the photograph incredibly echoes an impressionist painting.

If you look closely, you’ll notice that the Flatiron’s windows feature an origami installation by artist Chelsea Hrynick Browne.

Her hand-cut paper creations perfectly add to the otherworldly, Winter Storm moment.
