Game 12 Days of Christmas, Day Two

**MetteHHH** · 12-15-2014, 02:02 AM

Since I launched the thread a bit late yesterday and got the game off to a slow start, I had better improve myself today: This is the posting thread for photos for the second day of the 12 Days of Christmas game.

I am at work, and will post my photo later today. Please find the introduction of the game in this thread: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/26-mini-challenges-games-photo-stories/27...14-anyone.html, which is also where comments should go (or comment directly on flickr, if you prefer).

Also, the Day One thread is here: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/26-mini-challenges-games-photo-stories/28...s-day-one.html

Post away! I hope we get the game going in spite of the slow start!

Hi! yesterday evening I saw the thread but I had unforeseen trouble with my smartphone.
Here we go!

There is no advent without clementines!

Love this game, wish I'd seen it yesterday.

Great! Thanks for joining Zoe! Here's mine for the second day: I am not off work yet, but my boss left, and I have a strong need for a bit of procrastination - so this is why the photo is only very slightly edited on an uncalibrated screen. Hand held in difficult light at ISO 6400, so it might have done with a bit of Topaz Denoise.

Anyway, a Scandinavian Christmas tradition is the Saint Lucia procession, done by school kids on December 12th. Or, as in this case, December 15th because that fit better with the school activities.

They walk around the school holding live candles and sing carols. My son is the short one in the front row, second to the left of the main character... they were very cute.

I thought that Santa Lucia was on the 13th? that's when we celebrate in Norway.

Zoe IS right, of course, it is December 13th. Which explains why they did it today, since the 13ths was Saturday.
They had lussekatter too, after the parents left.

(Oh, and Zoe: The setup is to keep the comments here: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/26-mini-challenges-games-photo-stories/27...14-anyone.html or on flickr, so that these threads remain just a sequence of photos

Visited the upmarket Mall @ Hyde Park today, and had to get permission to take a few shots, which was granted, with the proviso-no photos of banks??? Deliberately upped the shadows in this one.

Our front yard Christmas Manger scene with Three Kings and Shepherds.
No White Christmas here in my Southern California neighborhood

Scene is made from insulation foam sheets and acrylic paint.

I received the 105mm f2.8 Super Takumar I won last week on eBay, so here's a shot from it of one of our ornaments

Late at night. Wine, biscuit crumbs, and the obligatory Christmas theme.... some to/from stickers that wolfiepup had found and was playing with during the day.

While not much decorating has happened at my gf's house due to remodeling there has been some wrapping.
