The sun was starting to set at around three o’clock on Christmas Eve.
The day’s shortest day has been and gone – but someone forgot to tell the sun. I didn’t mind as I was out testing my new SLR camera…
May all your skies be beautiful ones!

I like the rows of trees and the clouds. Did anyone swim in the icy water on that shortest day?
Merry Christmas from a very hot and balmy Australia. My son fell in the canal, and he said, it is wonderful, having come from a cooler New Zealand.

I love the picture. You are really good.
Thanks for being willing to send a card. I couldn’t find your email address (probably because I have blogspot and it can be ridiculous). If you can, send it and I’ll send the information.
Merry Christmas!
