The 12/17/21 Looking Close on Friday theme is Festive Lighting.
These ornaments were all hand made by my wife's mother over 50 years ago, and they're still going strong,
Happy "Looking close... on Friday!" with "festive lighting"
... and thank you so much for your views, faves and comments! :-)
As light as a feather? A classy Christmas illumination brightens the night sky in New Bond Street, in the West End of London.
"Floatels" (floating barge hotels for hire) and house barges strung with Christmas lights, brightening the dark winter night along the Union Canal.
Last night I was out with my chums, celebrating a special birthday for a dear friend. We went around the annual Christmas light show in the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh, a very large site that I love visiting, but usually in the daylight, so nice to visit the light show, which I've meant to do for years.
As we were out in a group I couldn't really stand there with a tripod doing long exposure shots, so these are all handheld, hence some are a bit rough (used the mini tripod as an extra handle to try and steady it as much as I could). It's not a cheap ticket (especially if you are taking a family), but it is wonderful to see this already gorgeous, much-loved daytime attraction all lit up on a December evening, different artists working on different sections. We were lucky, although cold the rain stayed off for our entire walk (and it is a long walk right around, as the site covers some 70 acres)

There was a massive furor - rightly so - over Cardiff Council paying £30,000 to rent a Christmas tree from China for a few years, beginning this Christmas.
The price was inconsequential in my opinion, but the fact that it was from China was inexcusable - I mean, could we not have bought it from the UK at least?
But to add insult to all of this, it wasn't even a tree. It was a tree shaped mesh covered in lights and baubles.
It looks atrocious in the light of day. Absolutely appalling. I honestly think that a local high school could have done a better job.
At night, at least, it isn't as bad.
Dit is een kerstdecoratie gekregen van mijn schoonmoeder. Helaas is het beschadigd geraakt, maar is dat niet tekenend voor het leven zelf?
Fijne feestdagen voor iedereen.
This has been a Christmas decoration of my mother in law. Unfortunately it's been damaged, but isn't that indicative of life itself?
Happy holidays to all.
Thanks for taking time to fave, comment and look at my work. I really appreciate.
Changing light art installation on the facade of what used to be Fraser's Department Store for many decades, now home to the Johnnie Walker Whisky Experience (not quite as good as the Jimi Hendrix Experience, of course). Paused for a moment to grab quick pics and video with my phone on a freezing winter evening, as the designs kepts changing patterns and colours on the facade, including, at one point, a giant Advent Calendar.
Last night I was out with my chums, celebrating a special birthday for a dear friend. We went around the annual Christmas light show in the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh, a very large site that I love visiting, but usually in the daylight, so nice to visit the light show, which I've meant to do for years.
As we were out in a group I couldn't really stand there with a tripod doing long exposure shots, so these are all handheld, hence some are a bit rough (used the mini tripod as an extra handle to try and steady it as much as I could). It's not a cheap ticket (especially if you are taking a family), but it is wonderful to see this already gorgeous, much-loved daytime attraction all lit up on a December evening, different artists working on different sections. We were lucky, although cold the rain stayed off for our entire walk (and it is a long walk right around, as the site covers some 70 acres)

I was really expecting to like Victoire so much more than Constance with the holiday releases ( I wasn't able to get Della)...........anyway, Constance is STUNNING, and redresses so beautifully. I'm glad I decided to add her to my order.

For this weeks "Looking close...on Friday!"...thank you for viewing, commenting and / or adding this photo to your favorites.
This picture looks a whole lot better as my wallpaper on my phone than it does on here, but I still like it.
Villiers Street is an ordinary, unpretentious little street in London which links the Strand with Victoria Embankment on the north side of the River Thames.
Ordinary maybe, but every Christmas it joins in the festive fun with its own display of illuminations. This view looks down on the street from Charing Cross station.
This captivating night photograph features Boathouse Row in Philadelphia, with its historic rowing clubs illuminated by glowing lights that reflect beautifully in the calm waters of the Schuylkill River. The soft evening glow and serene waterfront setting highlight the charm of this iconic Philadelphia landmark, creating a peaceful and picturesque urban scene.
