Going back to December and Christmas Market time…
This is a little blurry but I include it anyway:
The Christmas tree in the town square:
The lighted trees in the town park, reflected in the river:
The photo below involves reflections of the trees in the park in the big windows of the hotel across the river:
Linking to Friday My Town Shoot Out
More shadow than light, on a November night…
… until the town unitedly says: “Let there be light!”
Linked to Shadow Shot Sunday
“Did it take long to find me? I ask the faithful light.
Oh, did it take long to find me? And, are you going to stay the night?”

Just before drifting off into Dreamland on May 31 (~9.50 PM):
Zooming in the evening sky from my balcony…
The Friday My Town theme is “Your Town at Night or Dusk
- Show us your town's hot spots and the quiet spots.”
Sorry … but where the “action” might be that time of day,
I haven’t got a clue (and no real wish to find out) … ! ;)
When my aunt and uncle were visiting on Sunday after New Year, we went into the town centre late at night for an icy-snowy-slippery walk in the town park, taking photos of the illuminated trees there.
The lights have been up all December but since I’m rarely in town after dark I had not seen them in their full glory. Unfortunately I still don’t have a proper tripod, only a small table-size one, but for some pictures I managed to place that on top of a wastepaper basket or similar for support. Not easy to keep the camera still free-hand long enough for night-shots (especially since my right arm is my “bad” one). So some turned out very blurry – but some quite good.
I will be showing some of them in bigger format later, but I thought I’d start out with a collage of some of the unedited shots for
Mosaic Monday at Mary’s Little Red House
Apologies for being a bit late - but maybe somewhere in the world it is still Monday?

Expecting guests for New Year’s Eve, I will most likely not have time to post again until next year…
so taking the opportunity to wish friends and followers
Happy New Year!
