Related: About this forumSunrise progression December 31st, 2025
Off to the southeast this morning, a horizontal line of wispy clouds and clouds, more spread out, to our left began to take on color.

We focused on the feathery forms

then re-framed to where the mass of clouds had coalesced.

As the clouds began to fade,

we took one more look at the tree-level cloud-line.

Went inside for a sip of tea and seven minutes later the sun rose.

The final day of 2025 had begun.
