Maine Sunset This was taken last night at Lookout Point in Harpswell, Maine. I was hoping for a more dramatic sky but I had to be satisfied with what you see. I blended three different exposures to try to show off this decorated Christmas tree in a boat. In the background is Henry Allen's Seafood. There were no boats in the water and it was low tide.

Holiday Glow This is sort of the opposite of the last photo being taken from the opposite shore of this pond. The large troll, Roskva, is visible between the lighted trees.

Botanical Garden Scene This photo was taken looking across a pond and a bridge that crosses it to the lights on the other side. On the left under the blue tree is a moose standing in the water.

Lighthouse Another Gardens Aglow scene from the Coastal Maine Botanical Garden.

Roskva Thomas Dambo, a Danish artist and recycle activist. He led a team of community and worldwide volunteers to help create our five trolls.
Roskva is the heaviest, hardest, and strongest of the trolls. Every day, Roskva climbs towards the sky, and every year she grows taller and wider. If a troll forgets something, they can always ask Roskva—she counts the seasons and remembers everything that happens around her.
Giant trolls were a rare subrace of trolls that resulted from the crossbreeding of trolls and hill giants.

Hummingbird This was taken last evening at the Coastal Maine Botanical Garden in Boothbay, Maine. It is their annual holiday Gardens Aglow extravaganza.

Holbrook's Wharf Holbrook's Wharf is in Cundys Harbor, a small community in the town of Harpswell, Maine. This side of the wharf is occupied by a restaurant and the other side is a commercial fishing wharf. It is owned by a local organization, the Holbrook Community Foundation, that is dedicated to preserve it and a general store.

Fish House At Low Tide Yesterday morning was quite foggy but by the time I got to Cundys Harbor the fog had lifted.

WW&F Ry Engine 9 This was taken after we returned from our tour. The engine had just taken on water and is now preparing to shuttle the train cars into their shed and then it will be shut down for the night inside the engine shed.

I tried to edit this in Lightroom and I am happy with the leaf colors. The foreground color is way to warm. Did you know you can do this edit of video in Lr? Lightroom (not classic) the cloud version has a much improved way to edit video compared to Lightroom Classic which I use. There are a number of instructional videos on editing in Lr Classic on line. Here is a link to an Adobe site. <a href="https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-cc/using/edit-videos.html" rel="noreferrer nofollow">helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-cc/using/edit-videos.html</a>
