One shade of blue for water, one for ice,
Another blue for shadows over snow.
The clear or cloudy sky uses blue twice-
Both different blues. And hills row after row
Are colored blue according to how far.
You know the bluejay’s double-blur device
Shows best when there are no green leaves to show.
And Sirius is a winterbluegreen star.

Thanks a lot for your lovely words, Stefan!!!
I find the mood important because of the feast or the celebration, if you like. The bright crack in the clouds to the north is almost symbolic of the Bethlehem ⭐
Though the lovely thing about pictures is that you can interpret them as you like.
I wish you lots of happiness in 2019.
All the best,
Hanna
I hope your Christmas was as beautiful as the photo and poem, Hanna.
