Photo Experiment

I don't know if this is a real photograph or created by someone but I just love it.  It was going around in December labeled as 'Winter Solstice'.  I wondered if a person could actually get a shot like this in real life.

I was doing the dishes late one afternoon and looked out the kitchen window and saw the sun setting.  This was the day of the snowstorm.  Still a little too bright though.

This was the next day....the snow had melted off the trees but it was a little darker out.  I'd still like to work on getting this shot but I will only be able to get it in January and have to hope that there's snow!
