Celebrate the way the Fishermen Do!

Last weekend, when I photographed the fireworks, a Christmas celebration was taking place down on the docks and the lights on the trees and boats were lit. Having avoided the crowds, Ken and I went at dusk to get photos and we had the full stretch to ourselves; it was magical!

Once again I murmured, "This is SO NOT Southern California!"

They do this in Rockland too

[Diana]

A stunning capture and this wonderful scene, fabulous lights and colours.

[gloria jones]

Such a great pov to see the festive, colorful lights

[Sally Ings]

What a splendid sight to see. Nice that you didn't have to fight with the crowds.

[Pam Knowler]

Such a wonderful idea - the lobster pots look perfect lit up in this way! You were able to get such good shots with no people getting in the way!

[Dianne]

What a great display.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

wow that's huge!

[Henri Russell]

So pretty and unusual. Definitely not California.

[Dawn]

So cool

[Tunia McClure]

Not Indiana either.

[Louise & Ken]

@henrir @tunia (chuckle!) I really do feel quite transported when we're here! @joansmor Sounds as though it would be fun to look up some Christmas photos in Rockland, ME!

[Islandgirl]

This is very cool and great pov!

[Karly]

What a great image - love the pots, colorful lights and bows and the white lights on the masts. So unique and beautiful!

[Louise & Ken]

@365karly1 Not everyone would know they're called "pots"! I sense you haven't spent your entire life in Montana! Thanks for your message and enjoying the photo!

[Karly]

@Weezilou My sister was a fisherwoman in Alaska for several years and she fished part of the time with pots:) Really enjoyed this photo!

[Louise & Ken]

@365karly1 Additional information about our friends here is such a nice addition to getting to know about one another! Thanks for sharing that! What a life!

[KWind]

Wow... this is great!

[Casablanca]

What fun that is!

[Joan Robillard]

@Weezilou I have a hard time staying awake after 8 and Rockland is for me over 2 hours away. I will stick to photographing the Nubble light all decorated. LOL sorry

[Margo]

Good to know fishermen enjoy the festive season too

[Merrelyn]

Are these lobster pots Louise? They make a very unique Christmas tree 😊

[Issi Bannerman]

What a great idea, and a great shot!

[Louise & Ken]

@merrelyn The "new style" lobster pots were used for this quaint-stylized tree! It's something of a dockside tradition!

[Susan.T.]

Love this, so unique and colourful.
Great idea.
Fav.

[CC Folk]

"So not California" but fabulous none the less! Fab Fav! :)

[Louise & Ken]

@gardenfolk LOL! Thanks! Everything's beginning to pick up speed as the stay is coming to an end; we leave on the 19th! Time to put away the winter boots and get out the sandals again!

[CC Folk]

@Weezilou Oh...I thought you might be staying for Christmas but if family won’t be there, neither will you!❤️

[CC Folk]

@joansmor I have been to Nubble Light for a visit! It was beautiful! I will look forward to seeing your photo of it all decorated! :)

[Susan Klassen]

This would have been beautiful! I bet it was a great evening! The fireworks would have been great too!

[elkehochban]

This is fabulous! Such great "thinking outside the box", and so fortunate that you were there to capture it and share with us!

[Wendy]

This is so great! I take it you are still in Nova Scotia - will you be there for Christmas as well?
Very festive shot - and so not like Southern California!

[Louise & Ken]

@farmreporter We had a wonderful stay for the duration of our time in Lunenburg, but arrived back in California on Wednesday. I love having photo memories to last through the winter until we return next summer! Christmas will be up the coast with "Our California Kids" this year. Merry Christmas, Wendy!
