It was so interesting to see the variety of locations and perspectives everyone shared for the #window challenge. We saw views from as far away as São Paulo and South Korea, and also a bit closer to home like Raleigh, NC and Deep Creek Lake, MD.  We saw sunshine, snow and even some of your coworkers "sleeping."  It was very neat to see how much fun you all had with this one — you're turning out to be quite the creative bunch! I need some tips!  Please keep it coming.

This week's winner is @jalayne57 (IMAGE ABOVE). At first glass you think it's an image of gold foil or some fabulous wrapping paper (holiday gifts on the brain)….but it's none of those.  You're looking at the sun through frost and ice.  This photo is both sunny and freezing at the same time!  So artistic and a perfect #window shot.  I hope it’s warming up a bit in northern Minnesota for you!

@jalayne57, I'm posting your image to my Instagram feed, the “New Day” Instagram feed and on our website, NewDayCNN.com. Also, our “New Day” digital team will be in touch to send along a little thank you!

And yet again, I can't let you go without a few honorable mentions...

@felipemohamad, your photo truly shows the reach of our Instagram network.  Brazil is on my vacation wishlist.  Can we come visit?! Maybe once those storm clouds pass.

We can’t decide if we’re jealous or excited for @glen_carty and this gorgeous island sunrise. Bring us back some of that warm sea air!

@Kennisschan took the challenge to the train! I love that the seat somehow matches the construction cranes outside.  Only question we have – where are you heading?

@kennisschan: Quite a nice day today ☀️ #newday #sunny #cold #train #window #scenery #sit #red #today

And could someone please tell @Tonyp10 and his co-worker to get back to work?   Thanks for playing along!

Finally, a shout out to @TedWoodsCo for being one of the first to submit his #window video and (clearly) he had a lot of fun with it! If you haven’t yet, you should watch his radio studio tour

Now, for this week's challenge – #NewYearNewDay. Show me what you're looking forward to in the new year. It can be BIG or it can small, just make it unique.
