Winter solstice

17 December 2009 sunrise is clear compared with the snow-clouds of the 21 December 2009.
My hand measurement is three outspread hands from the summer solstice sunrise.
My point of view: Kita ku, Kyoto roof.
Camera lacks angle sufficient to capture the spread from solstice to solstice.
Summer solstice is to the north of Mt. Hiei, winter soltice to the south of Mt. Hiei.

My prediction of three and a third hands was too far by a third of a hand.
