A snow-laden timber house glows amber at the center of a Christmas village, flanked by lit white fir trees, street lamps and a small decorated porch. The dark brown walls, window frames and heavy white snow drifts on the roofs take the place of the finder squares and carry the modules across the building. Strong contrast between the dark facade and bright snow keeps the pattern legible, while the soft blue background stays quiet. Thick palette knife strokes and warm reflections on the wet cobblestones add texture to the foreground.
