Seaside Theme #255

Hi all.  Happy New Year!!  I am home now from my Christmas at my Mom’s.  Since I am so close to the end of completing this challenge I am going to post the last 7 pictures tonight.  This photo was taken from the ferry as we were arriving at Nanaimo, British Columbia.  I used Topaz 5 and applied the HDR Dynamic Brightness filter.  The storm clouds were just lifting and the sun was breaking through.  It was beautiful!!  So this photo was for December 25th.
