Winter solstice. *** Talvipäivänseisaus. #Photography #Naturephotography
Single buoy on bay is colored by winter solstice sun in 60° North. Sky on horizon has yellow tint, turning into darker blue towards zenith. Sea is dark, cold blue and borealis forest across the bay is almost colorless, only slight yellow where sun shines. It has been warm dark winter so far, so the sea has not iced over and there is no snow.

Colors of the picture are close to black and white, only some small details are brown. Small island of reed bed. Reeds are reflecting on water.
