Snowy branches
A glowing band of light
Snowy branches.
A December sunset.
The time? A quarter to three in the afternoon!
The days are short.
But it’s not their length that I focus on, but their depth.

14:45? Still bright? It’s definitely longer day length than where I used to live for 5 years, you know:)))
I like the pastel and milky colors of the sky in your town! Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend.
