Brian at Bushboy’s World is running a monthly challenge where he asks you to post the last photo on your SD card.
The rules are simple: 1. Post the last photo on your SD card or last photo on your phone for December. 2. No editing – who cares if it is out of focus, not framed as you would like or the subject matter didn’t cooperate. 3. You don’t have to have any explanations, just the photo will do 4. Create a Pingback to this post or link in the comments 5. Tag “The Last Photo.”
I haven’t joined this challenge before but thought it would be fun. So herewith is my last photo of 2025, completely unedited, a fiery red sunset that is illuminating some wispy clouds through the bare winter branches.
If you’re a shutterbug I hope you join in. Thanks to Jude at Cornwall in Colours who brought this challenge to my attention.
In keeping with today’s theme, here’s a gorgeous sunset photo from Jude at Cornwall in Colours. To see more of Jude’s beautiful photography, please click the link above.

We recently had a very sunny day that started becoming overcast by mid-afternoon with clouds swiftly moving in from the south.
I was fortunate enough to leave for my evening ramble in time to see the sunset before it became completely obscured.
I very much enjoyed the counterpoint between grey and orange as the clouds began to envelop the evening sky.
Now that we’re heading into December the sunsets don’t last long – or may be shrouded by gloom – so I took the time to savour this one before it disappeared and the clouds had their way with the skyscape.
We have had lots of wind over the last couple of months; much more than normal. That pattern seems to be quietening now that we’re closer to winter, but we’re still experiencing the occasional windy day.
We had another one recently and it cleared away some cloud that had been lingering; you can see the streaky sky in the picture above.
The clear air also gave us a pink toned evening before it became dark and the wind died off.
We don’t get a lot of snow here; it’s more likely to be rain, especially in November and December, and today I really feel that November has arrived. We are socked in by rain and the very low late autumn/early winter cloud has settled into the valley.
When I talk of rain, I mean here at the valley floor, but in the surrounding mountains it’s snow; all the ski operators must be keeping their fingers crossed for good conditions!
Despite the conditions we did have a bit of clearing for an hour or so …
… but the clouds quickly returned to enclose us once more.
