the edge of night

Here is a shot of Berton House in Dawson City where I have lived for three months. The days are short now but nowhere near as dark as I had anticipated for this time of year (the shortest day).
The house looks isolated here but actually there are other houses all around. Above the roof of the house you can see the edge of winter sun hitting the Midnight Dome. On sunny days, some of the mountain slopes are lit for a couple of hours but the sunlight does not reach into the valley.
I like the light in the window here. It must be a reflection of the sky, but it echoes the mountain beyond.

Reply: The walk was shoveled, and then there was a dusting of fresh snow. Not enough to worry about.
