Blue hour in the snow forest

Jigsaw · 12 to 198 pieces

About the picture

North of the Arctic Circle the sun stays below the horizon for a while around midwinter, yet the middle of the day still brings a long twilight. This scene catches that blue hour: tall slim spruces coated with snow, an untouched surface with soft blue shadows, and a pink-violet band where the sun waits just out of sight.

Computer-generated scene; it does not show a specific real place.

How to approach this jigsaw

Start with the frame: switch on Edges and only border pieces stay on the table. After the frame, build the parts with strong shapes and colour: the snow-loaded spruces, the pink-violet band on the horizon.

Leave for the end: the open snow, the pale sky. Pieces from these areas look alike, so match them by the shape of their tabs and blanks rather than by colour.
