Good Morning
well Christmas is over and I hope you all had a good one, back where i grew up in NZ the 26th is called boxing day, which if you havent heard of before it is thought it originated as a holiday to give gifts to poor people, today Boxing Day forms part of Christmas celebrations, with many people choosing to take advantage of Boxing Day sales
And in In parts of Europe, such as several regions of Spain,the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Romania, Hungary, the Netherlands, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Belgium, Norway, and most of Ireland (excluding most of Ulster), 26 December is Saint Stephen's Day, which is considered the second day of Christmas.
And after mentioning all that I will change subject completely as my theme for todays post is reflections which I love catching when out taking photos
as I often walk by the water I am lucky to often see lovely reflections such as this one at the port

if the water is calm the reflections are better but then again taking long exposure shots that tends to flatten out the water as well such as in this next photo which is a 25 second exposure

one from a month or so ago, the full moon was about to set and I caught this view of it over some of the commercial fishing boats

And yet more boats the reflections in this one not so crisp as the water was choppy and there was more light and hence a shorter exposure time
