Never Mind Snow at Christmas ....
... this Christmas Eve Sunrise set me up for the day.
No tinkering this time, just a bit of cropping.

Trees
First a close silhouette shot with the Sun hidden behind the trees:
This longer shot was processed in HDR Efex Pro 2
I really like the atmosphere it created:

A Sunrise and a Scare Car
Just a narrow band of colour for the Sunrise over Manby yesterday:
Is this the 21st Century version of a Scarecrow - a Scarecar?
Seen in the middle of a field along with billowing fabric:
Can't say I've seen this idea before. Is the fabric on poles meant to give an impression of people I wonder? Certainly there were no Wood Pigeons to be seen nearby for a change.
There are still the usual gas cannons going off round the village. This is the first year Penny has taken little notice of them. She normally reacts badly to sudden loud noises and usually tries to bolt but seems to have got used to them after four years..

Tuesday Teaser - Answer
Last week I showed this XnSketch version of a photograph:
This is the original photo:
One of a pair of artificial holly balls I bought to replace hanging baskets for the Winter. As well as being pretty realistic they also contain some miniature LED lights which come on at night. The battery and solar panel are contained in the small unit on top of each pole.
Congratulations to The Weaver of Grass for working out it was holly.
Many thanks to all who had a go at identifying this year's teasers.
That was the last Teaser for this year.
Some time in the new year I will think of something to tease you with.
