I think the use of a blue-purple color in this picture effectively sets the mood in this photo. When I think of colors in the blue family, I immediately think cold, lonely, barren, which is what I think this photo conveys. The photographer probably enhanced the blues and purples in this photo because the scene is snowy, empty, and has little light. Adding a periwinkle tint to the entire photo adds to these aspects and feelings one gets when viewing the picture. The actual parts of the picture that seem cold an lonely are emphasized even further by the coloring throughout the photo.
