Monthly Theme: the Marina

We're finally getting a little bit of Winter here in Belgium. It's very cold and it snowed yesterday.
I know readers in Canada (and other countries with a cold climate) will probably laugh out loud when they see the amount of snow we had. I know, it's just a little sprinkling, a transparent layer, and it would have melted in two hours had it not been so cold. I went down to the marina this morning to take some pictures to use for my monthly theme and my fingers nearly froze off! My fingers were so numb I could not even push the shutter anymore!



View from the bridge


Even the seagulls look like they're cold!



I was busy taking pictures when suddenly this lady walked up from behind me. "This is going to be perfect for my monthly theme" I thought instantly, and quickly pushed the shutter.
So there ... my photo of the day, my new entry for Project 366 # 31



These photos were taken with my bridge camera, the Canon SX1 IS.
I'm planning on making this a monthly theme. I know it's not February yet, but hey... You can see my first post here.

  1. Excellent photos - but I have a hard time adjusting my brain to see pleasure craft, in the water, and snow on the ground. And yes - the last one is the Keeper.

  7. I'm envious of the sprinkling of snow. We've barely had any and today and yesterday it was 60 degrees. :)
    I've seen a couple of blogs where people post a pic of the same spot on a certain day of the month so I think your monthly theme is a good idea. Love the bright red coat. She's more ambitious than I would be taking a baby for stroll in the weather. :)
