Picture perfect winter

Hello!

Yesterday when I came back, i was waiting for my wife to put me back into the appartment when I realized that it was a perfect time to snap some pictures for you guys. So I did! The time on this pic is about 4:00PM but it looks like it was closer to 6:00PM. Here in winter we set back our clocks 1 hour and we do the oposite in summer so we get to have sunlight until about 9:00PM. Now on the 21st of December will be the longest night of the year, this is when planet earth is the closest to the sun, yup winter in Canada and in the northen hemisphere happens when the world is closest to the sun. The sun's ray hit this part of the world at an angle so it doesn't warm us that much, unlike summer when the sun's ray hit us directly. Also, after the 21st of December the days start getting longer, a couple of minutes each day!!

And now to the pics...enjoy your day/night!
