Tourist Guide

A little panoramic from this morning’s sunrise at Birdseye Dock in Stratford Connecticut. I shot a series of 5 images and stitched them together in Lightroom creating this 16x9 crop. Was a bit windy and the clouds were moving in but there was a good little burn. Glad I got out of bed early !!

Nice beach, picnic tables.
Park done the street if you don't have the Darien sticker.
Nice lake, gorgeous all year long.

Amenities were great. Wished I was staying longer to take advantage of 24-hour complimentary coffee, well appointed gym, and in-room yoga goodies. Bed was comfy and overall affordable for a quick trip for work.
