Travel Guide

A little panoramic from this morning’s sunrise at Birdseye Dock in Stratford Connecticut. I shot a series of 5 images and stitched them together in Lightroom creating this 16x9 crop. Was a bit windy and the clouds were moving in but there was a good little burn. Glad I got out of bed early !!

Nice beach, picnic tables. Park done the street if you don't have the Darien sticker.

The position of the desk next to the air-conditioning vent is not ideal. Perhaps a switched position with the bureau/TV is better.
