I came upon this scene as I was driving outside my hometown on Wednesday (12/17). The sun popped out from behind the clouds just long enough to snap this one.
I saw this scene as I was driving along an extremely rural road, and I literally skidded to a stop on the snow and backed up to shoot this out the window!

very nice composition...love the contrast between red and white..balance might have been better if more of the left tree was in the shot...still very nice
This is a beautiful image! I think you should use it as your Christmas card next year. The colors are incredible. Love the red house against the white snow and blue sky. Very nice work.
This is a very nice shot. Postcard worthy actually. But I'm not seeing anything 'on the edge'. Are you refering to the edge of the roof? I supose with you title, it makes some sense, but I can't really SEE the solstice in your image, or the border OF the solstice for that matter. Focus and clarity are really great. The sky is perfect and I really like this image, just seems kind of loose on the challenge.
might have looked a bit better if you had backed up a bit to get the tree which casts the shadow from the lower left into the picture,
lighting and colors are very pleasing
could be used on a greeting card
