Botanics Christmas Lights 011
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)
