The Twelve Days of Christmas

On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me .... 

Five gold rings

I must admit, this challenge was quite difficult, but fortunately, I have plenty of rings to work with. On short notice, this is what I managed to capture. With family visiting, I haven’t had much time to dedicate to photography, so I quickly took these shots with my iPhone at my desk. I placed the rings on a cream jar, using a festive paper as a backdrop, while the other photo features a dark pen holder.

The Veil of Morning Fog


As the sun timidly rises, it casts a soft glow upon the rolling hills, shrouded in a delicate veil of morning fog. The mist clings to the rugged peaks, blurring their edges and lending an ethereal quality to the scene. It’s as if the hills themselves are reluctant to reveal their secrets.

The Veil of Morning Fog

A narrow trail winds through the landscape, disappearing into the mist. Perhaps it was once a well-trodden route, but now it lies almost forgotten.

Here, silence reigns supreme. The only sounds are the occasional cry of a bird. Even the wind seems to hold its breath, respecting the stillness of this beautiful place.
