Capturing Memories

In the days following the Christmas Feast, we had some memorable moments, many of which I captured on film for the viewing pleasure of my family and maybe a few friends.  I recently read an article about how if you take a lot of pictures at an event you may not remember it very well, unless you spend time looking at the photos afterward.  But in that case you are in a way creating a narrative in your mind about what happened through the photos, much like what goes on in the minds of Facebook friends and historians and other people who view photos but who weren't present at an event.  Try to create a narrative from these photos because I don't have time to write one. Captions provided to assist your imagination and my memory.

Goodnight playground! A local friend told me it is pollution in the air that makes the sunsets so colorful here.
