As the sun rises through a veil of fog, it bathes a snow-draped forest in golden hues, transforming bare branches into crystalline sculptures. The air is still, heavy with frost, and the world seems suspended in a moment of serene beauty. Each twig, coated in rime, glimmers like a frozen star, while the distant glow hints at warmth beyond the cold. This is nature’s quiet masterpiece—where light, ice, and silence converge in a fleeting, breathtaking dawn.
