Looks wintery there GT....glad you get that much light at least...I am missing our longer days here, and will be glad for the shortest day to come so we can get going back in the other direction..but ya know..today is good..I am dog sitting and enjoying the company of a pack..it is quite nice on a windy winter day.

Cold but very beautiful! That light is amazing!

Just beautiful Gt....and remarkable.....hope you're coping with the dark hours...won't be long now till we're going back up to summer.......:o)
Have a great Xmas and Happy Gardening for 2010......X.

Fantastic photo Gt........

Thanks to you all and Happy Holidays. I do love the winter light, though I do wish the cabin was on that hillside sometimes.....lol. I'm counting the days to solstice and the turn around. The light comes back so quickly, once the hump day has passed.

Thank you Gee and Deida for the well wishing and I hope your holidays are wonderful. And thank you as well Janey, I'm shrugging off the dark like water under the bridge, thanks for the encouragement. Hapapy Holidays! :-)

Beautiful and how apt for this time of year. The perfect Christmas card?

Great photo of the sunny hills, GT! Like you I'd want my cabin to be in "them thar hills!" LOL! :-D

Not that I'm complaining about where we live because we get the sun come in on three sides of our flat! When the sun rises it pours in through our bedroom windows then, as the day wears on it swings around to come in through our living room windows, where the balcony is. Then in the evening as it is going down it enters in through a small window we have over our kitchen sink. The sunlight that comes in through that window will also go into our living room for a few weeks in late autumn. On the same side of the flat as the bedrooms there is another small window in our living room & that gets the early morning sun & in late autumn the sunlight can almost reach the kitchen!

We are having some very cold weather here this week & our view of the snow is almost like yours - just substitute the trees for houses & flatten out the hills! LOL! :-D

Hope you have an enjoyable Christmas & the New Year 2010 is kind to you.

Thanks Fractal. It looks like christmas around here for about four months. :-) Thus our little town of North Pole where we have the Santa Claus House. :-)

Thanks Balcony. Wonderful you get so much sun, a little bright spot in the cold you are receiving. And snow, it must be cold! I do get good light in the house most of the year, right now the sun is always too low to even shine here at all. It just rides the south horizon a few hours and down again. Happy holidays!

Happy CHristmas, Wonderful picture Do Santa's reindeer team practice over here for their major event on CHristmas Eve.........

Lol! :-) Happy Christmas Linda. I expect so with all the sled tracks around the country. Haven't caught any night flights yet. :-)

Ahhh that's magic.

Happy Christmas GT. Great photo. I do so like seeing how things look in your part of the world.

ThankThanks PP. Happy Christmas. This kind of cold and dark takes a good warm photo......lol. :-)

Wow! words escape me...beautiful!

Thank you Healerwitch. With only a few hours of sunlight and a low angle during that, the colors of winter on the white snow here are really something else. One of the natural magics of the arctic. I did take a bunch that I'll try to post today. I love it.

Simply beautiful Greenthumb

Thank you Cottagegardener. :-)
