The Winter Sun

The sun is unique during the winter time at the polar circle. First and foremost because it is scarce. Depending on the latitude, our home star disappears for a couple of months, and the world remains dark. Slowly, the sun rises again every day a little bit more; shy in the beginning, it dares go higher with the weeks passing by. At this time of the year, the few hours of daylight are encompassed with a very particular light, and it provides little warmth in a bitterly cold and hostile (though beautiful) environment.
