This is a picture that I found in my photo library a week after uploading some sunrise shots of downtown. I never took this.

While you're scarfing little chocolates from your advent calendars, I'll be #writing#painting and #posting. This is your feed for that. Like for today, I did the first of my December #microfiction posts linked below:
