Christmas day journey by joansmor

Christmas day journey

This year I decided to do something different for Christmas this year. I got up real early and drove to Old Orchard Beach Pier to capture a shot of the sunrise. Clouds kept the color subdued but it was still beautiful. Then I drove to Bailey’s Island taking pictures along the way. Finally, I finished with lunch at the 1912 Cafe at LL Bean’s. Fun day!
This is my scrapbook version of a tryptich for my get-pushed challenge to show my Christmas day. If I were doing 4 pictures the last one would be me collapsed on my recliner.
Lovely journey collage Joan.

@gilbertwood I took up 365 project to improve my photo skills for my digital scrapbooking.

@joansmor I actually meant the trip Joan!
December 27th, 2015  
@gilbertwood Opps (laughing at myself now) yes alone. But met the most wonderful people and it put me in a wonderful Christmas mood. It was a way to try to revive myself after a busy time at work. I wanted to make me happy and have some quiet time. Kinda of selfish.

@joansmor Sounds like you're kinda looking after yourself :) Well done!

Love every bit of this! What a wonderful way to spend the day - and fantastic pictures to choose for the tryptich - the lighting and tones of each shot work so well together. Love the LL Bean boots to represent that part of the day. Love the wonderful reflections of the pier in that soft sunrise. Fav
