As we speed towards the Winter Solstice, the days are still getting shorter. It's not exactly the most beloved annual trend, as anyone who arrives and leaves work when it's dark will attest to. But it does allow more people to experience the season's spectacular sunrises, all without having to get out of bed at some ungodly hour of the morning.
We've gathered together some of this morning's best Twitter and Instagram photos, with people around the country posting beautiful shots of the hazy pink sunrise. If you'd like to share your own, tweet @newstalkfm:
