Home for Christmas
Me and 
I arrived late in the evening so for the first day we were mostly just chilling. On the second day however we exploited the lovely weather to go out and explore this snowy winter paradise. I took this chance to do some photography and I managed to snap quite a few that I was satisfied with.
The first leg of the trip wasn't too far from the house. We followed a trail that took us up a small rise until we got to a plateau of sorts that game us an awesome view of the town. We stopped here to make a fire and eat some gingerbread and just have a good time.
It was fun trying to photograph the dancing flames. I felt like I could have taken a million pictures here and each one would be different due to the living flame. I really liked the effect the flames got with the black and white filter. Looks smoky.
We let the fire die out and decided to walk further up the path. A little ways up the path we came to a huge rock where we could look down at
When we got to the top of the trail there was this even bigger rock that had a bunch of icicles hanging from it. I tried getting some cool shots of them and even though my iPhones auto focus were fighting me for this one I managed to get some cool ones in the end.
The view from the top had us looking over the valley and it made out a nice motive for a wintery landscape with the treeline on the mountainside.
When we got back home from this little trip we immediately went back outside to have some fun in the snow and build a snowman with
Leftovers
That pretty much marks the end of an awesome day in this wintery paradise. I'll end the post with some leftover photos I took on the trip.
