Twilight Motel #72 - a photo on Flickriver

Twilight Motel #72

            The things I wanted to single out in this pic were the coach and the nutcrackers in the window, so I decided on a selective color shot. It was pretty impossible to diminish the really bright reindeer, but having no color, they took a back seat to the colorful items. This shot also shows the giraffe, another part of the menagerie in the Twilight Motel's annual decorations!

I will be posting quite a few more of these Christmas shots, as I get them ready to upload for a child I sponsor through Compassion International, Brayen. He is 10 years old and lives in Indonesia. 

The difference between Christmas for most American children, and for children in poverty, is that when you give a child in the West money, he or she will go buy toys or games, something that the child wants. In Indonesia, the children might want a bicycle, which will help them get around for doing chores, or they want school supplies and clothing- things Western kids take for granted. Although I've sent Brayen money for Christmas and birthdays, (he shares MY birthday, so it's easy to remember!) and specify that he should get something he wants, he always says he has gotten things that are "needs" instead. I wish they would allow us to send actual gifts, but they don't. We used to be able to send stickers, but that's about it. He's a good little boy, and I hope one day I can meet him!
