season: winter
---

- dawn: the cold is sharpest now. frost on everything. the air tastes like iron.
- morning: grey and still. the kind of cold that settles in the bones and stays.
- afternoon: thin winter light, already angling toward evening. the air is dry and quiet.
- evening: the dark comes early and completely. woodsmoke from somewhere.
- night: clear and bitter, or clouded and raw. either way, stay in.
