The whole picture
The aurora, snowy mountains, and the ship with a person holding a lantern are stacked from top to bottom.
Look at spot 1
The aurora curls in green and yellow ribbons. The deep navy sky makes them look brighter.
Look at spot 2
A long ship floats on calm water and its shadow reflects in the water. The rowers in yellow line up like small dots.
Look at spot 3
A person stands on the snowy shore holding a lantern. The warmest light in this picture is the lantern.
Five colors
Navy, blue-grey and the white of snow run cold, and between them the lantern's yellow glows warm.
Where your eyes go
It runs from the aurora to the ship to the lantern. The big light in the sky leads your eyes down to the small light on the shore.
Try it yourself
Ask for one warm light inside the cold colors.
