hamnoya christmas
Hamnoya. Sea mist and sunrise.
Christmas is almost upon us, a brightly coloured marker jutting out from the final pages of the 2018 yearbook. And for many people in this highly connected and commercialised world, where consumerism is everything, it's easy to lose sight of the true meaning of this festive season. The birth of Santa.
So whether you're busy adding a modern twist to the parable of the three wise men chasing that star all the way to Bethlehem by following an elderly couple through an overcrowded shopping mall for 20 minutes in order to claim their parking space, or if you've woken up in a stable after that final drink at the office party, it's good to reflect on what's important.
And so to all of you out there in Flickrland, I wish you every happiness. Thank you for your friendship, good humour and incredible support. You're the reason that I've continued to post and share my thoughts on here.
On a final note, many of you know what I do for a day job when I'm not busy snapping away or emptying the somewhat limited contents of my mind into my Flickr stream. We have many kids in our hospital wards at this time of year, some of whom will have a very different experience of this season, so please spare a few seconds to think of them and their families.
And finally, a very special mention to Dunia Osorio, one of my longstanding Flickr contacts who runs a charity called Brighter Lives which helps underprivileged kids in her home country of Honduras. Please check her out and visit her website if you have a few moments to spare. It's people like Dunia who truly embody the spirit and meaning of Christmas.
Change what you can change, be kind to others and take a moment to remember those less fortunate.
Happy Christmas, folks.
