Sunday Fifty-Two Views of the Gulf Finale

April 3, 2016 · by John W. Howell · in Fifty-two Views of the Gulf, Uncategorized · 47 Comments

Well, here it is. I managed to make a slide show out of the fifty-two pictures taken each week for the last year. I hope you enjoy the montage since this feature will be changing next week. I have decided to accept the majority suggestion on my poll last week and start what could be called Fifty-Two Views of the Neighborhood. More on that later. For now, I hope you enjoy the slide show.

I also want to thank all of you for staying with me on this little journey. When you condense a year into slightly over two minutes, it gives one reason to pause and thank those who shared the time.

Big thanks.

What a nice thing to do for us, John. Thank you.
After I thought about it, I realized that view of the gulf was probably (at least comparatively) the most quick & easy way to do this kind of post. Do whatever works best for you. We’ll still be here, having a cup of Sunday morning coffee with you. Mega hugs!

Wonderful seeing some of those photos again, John. Your photography told a story and while the music played I got a sense of how truly unique your little corner of the world is. You’ll be thankful you have this video to watch from time to time. So peaceful. ♡

      It did turn out better than I thought. The perfectionist in me wished I could have mounted a camera in one spot but it still looks good.
