New Year's Day

A pretty time-lapse photo outside my window. This is looking towards the Saint Laurence river. If I'm lucky, and there are no leaves on the trees, I can see the tops of ships moving by almost at the horizon. To the left is a baseball diamond in the summer, hockey rink in the winter. You can hear the echos of slapshots hitting the boards.

That's a schoolyard in front. In the tree at right there's a little dark object: a plastic garbage bag which has been caught in the tree all year, looking like a black bat or large bird. It's my nemesis.

The little bright spots are sparkles from the dirty window. It's very dark now, and the camera on a tripod did a good job of picking up all the light.
