Ancient new year. #6920

A small, faceted glass ornament hangs from a pine branch, its surface dotted with tiny red and green beads. Behind it, a vintage clock with a white face and dark hands rests slightly out of focus, its hands pointing toward midnight. A wrapped gift in yellow paper lies beneath, partially obscured by the branches. The background is softly blurred, revealing hints of glittering decorations and the green needles of the tree. The lighting is warm and diffused, casting gentle highlights on the ornament’s reflective surface. The overall mood is quiet and contemplative, capturing a still moment before the clock strikes.
