And SoThe Holiday Season Begins

Every year on the weekend before Thanksgiving my home town, Castle Rock, lights up the street lights
and also the large star that sits on top of the rock that gave the town its name. We decided to take
Beth for a walk in town to show her the lights. This shot shows a scene from the main thoroughfare
with the star on the rock showing just above the street light. The star itself is about 20 feet tall
and stands on the rock a few hundred feet above the town.
It's seems the holiday season has arrived in a hurry!

Excellent night shot, Dave. and very clever placing of that star. Bet Beth enjoyed the "pretty lights"!

Nicely done, I thought it was just a little star.

Beautiful night shot.
There were christmas lights in our town before Halloween.
Crazy, they start earlier and earlier each year.

As long as you didn't have a fat tire when you came out of the café ;-) 20 feet?!? Amazing what a little lack of light can do for DoF ;-) Really nicely taken Dave, with beautiful and gentle exposure. Must be nice to have a toddler to share the mood with. Merry Happy's - g
