Happy New Year!

This is the annual ceremonial gathering under the harbor tree on the last day of 2014.  Or not.  I have photographed this tree so many times, under so many different weather conditions, but I don't think I have ever seen it with more than one person near it.  On this day, I happened to see four people all in a row.  They actually moved around quite a bit, they seemed to be tourists looking at the harbor and at the tree.  I waited until they were all separated from each other before shooting.
