 White As Snow U2 from the No Line On the Horizon album
U2 - White as Snow (youtube)
White as Snow (song)

Spring snowstorm and yearling fawn (blacktailed deer). Bono intended the song to be about the last thoughts of a dying soldier in Afghanistan. The soldier was killed by an improvised explosive device. For me, the image of a young deer running free in the mountain snow would be a last thought/vision representing what Bono intended for the character in the song.

Good shot! Don't sure if I think it fits the title though... Lots of other songs that could suit this wonderfull capture a bit better.

Wow if you'd caught a snow hare, THAT'd really suit the title. :~)
