#273 – Winter Solstice

“Winter Solstice” captures a serene, direct landscape during the winter solstice, the astronomical event marking the shortest day of the year. The sun, bright yet low in the sky, casts long, deep shadows across a snow-covered terrain, illustrating the stark contrast between light and darkness. The underbrush, stubbornly holding onto last autumn’s leaves, offers a muted reminder of seasons past, protected under the forest’s sheltering arms from the harsh winter winds. Despite the sun’s brilliance, its glow fails to impart warmth, emphasizing the chill of the season.
