Christmas lights near Yakima, Washington. I wish I would have remembered to take my tripod. The fog didn't help either. IMG_5654
Christmas year 2020, not like any other Christmas. Many of us will be spending it just like this litte Christmas tree. Alone and isolated.
From five years ago, on a gorgeous sunny December 25, 2016. Back then a Christmas gift of the sun setting along the St. Lawrence River. Unable to go canoeing today as it was freezing rain most of the day and very icy outside. Better to stay inside with family all day on Christmas.
Christmas trees have traditionally been evergreen conifers, such as a pine or fir trees, which for centuries have been used to celebrate winter festivals in both the Christian and pagan tradition. Thousands of years ago, pagan celebrations involved the use of branches to decorate homes for the winter solstice, evoking themes of the incoming season of spring where trees and flowers would bloom once more.
Such a tasteful display of Christmas lights.
Have a Merry Christmas everyone! Joy and Peace to all people.

Merry Christmas from Nat & Joe!
Someone worked so hard to behave all year but his naughty side couldn't be held back any longer..... Naughty List
I woke up this morning to a beautiful blanket of snow covering the tree branches in our yard. I got out my camera and took some images of Christmas lanterns we hung in one of our trees.
Getting out in the snow with a camera is a great, uplifting way to start the new year.
I hope that everyone has a very happy and healthy New Year!
When putting out Christmas cookies for Santa don't forget the extra ammunition and thick socks for John Mclane "Merry Christmas and Yippee-Ki-Yay!"
Merry Christmas, everyone! This was taken earlier today (Christmas Eve) in the Land Between the Lakes State Park, Kentucky. She was eating a fish there on the limb of the tree.
In absence of a Das Tungsten to snuggle with, winter nights are made for warm fires and large books.

Christmas Band playing at Levens Hall, South Lakeland, Cumbria, UK
Taken last year in the Nottingham arcade behind 'slab square'.
Nottingham always puts on a better Christmas show than Derby, my hometown.
I'm a tad embarrassed that Derby's civic tree, although satisfyingly tall, is decorated with a string of lights that look as though they came second-hand from the end of a run-down pier.
Neighbouring Stafford, a smaller town than Derby, has a well decorated tree too, it's a stunner
I may just post a pic to illustrate later during the holiday.
Merry Christmas! (or happy Holidays if that's not your thing!)
Whee! Explore #274 :)
PCA 135 - Night Lights
Dec 12 - Dec 26, 2010 (2 weeks)
Image Tag: pca135
Assignment:
For a large part of the world's population this is the dark time of year. in fact the shortest day of the northern hemisphere is just days away. For this assignment you are to embrace the night and the lights that you find. Capture the color and drama that artificial lighting often brings to our evenings. This assignment should present opportunities for experimentation with longer exposures, metering techniques, creative bokeh, and using a tripod. For those enjoying the longer and warmer days in the southern hemisphere, we hope you stay up late and capture your night lights.

Long exposure f/10 22 sec 18mm raw conversion SOOC (cropped 4x5).
Well, I haven't done much light painting but I was thinking about submitting for the PCA and the assignment and wanted to maybe get some good Christmas light bokeh or something, then this idea hit me - I was going to try a few more, but ran out of time (and its cold out!). This is harder than it looks (probably because I don't have practice at it) but you have to keep the light pointed at the camera at all times and figure the right aperture to make it all clear. I was trying to echo the big pine in the background with my tree in the foreground , I also tried to encircle a small seedling to get a stem for my tree (this was not as successful as I had hoped). Anyway, I'm still getting back into the swing of things so the PCA is good way to do that and focus on trying something weekly.
Doh, with mags_Tags's question I realized I didn't specify that I used an LED flashlight for the actual painting... My wife uses the Oval Light to walk the dog.
This is Victoria Street, Edinburgh. I had originally intended this to be a colour shot but the decorations are white and the buidlings didn't give much contrast in the low light.
I was on the safe side of the railing with my camera on a tripod over the railing.
Part of the Christmas day dinner table centerpiece decoration that Caroline put together. Every year she creates a new tableau for us to enjoy as we gather around the table. This year she utilized several holiday themed snow globes accumulated over the years that took us down a fun memory filled lane.
A gorgeous Christmas decoration in a shop window in Guingamp last year, while I was in the Convalescent Home.
*** I have since retaken yesterday's photo and am far happier with the result. (Which wouldn't be difficult !!) ***
Better viewed large, and thank you for your favourites. :)
Its Christmas Eve, Tree is lighted Up and Gifts Are Wraped , hidden under the Tree.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays...
Merry Christmas to my Flickr friends !
The small and enchanting cobbled streets of Tallinn are brought to life during the winter period with a light dusting of snow on rooftops and pavements.
On the north-eastern edge of the Baltic Sea, Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, is one of the best preserved medieval towns in Europe, and as such the old town area is included in Unesco's world heritage list. The aura of the 14th and 15th centuries survives intact in Tallinn's old town, through its jumble of medieval walls and turrets, needling spires and winding cobbled streets. The city can be easily explored on foot, which is the best way to see the historic old town and absorb the atmosphere and bright activity of its bustling squares.
Like other Baltic capitals, Tallinn's main square is the center of celebrations for New Year's Eve. Private parties, concerts, and balls are hosted by restaurants, hotels, clubs, and other venues to ring in the new year. If you plan to stick out the evening in Tallinn's squares, dress warmly - the Estonian capital is cold in December!
