December 26 - festive lights

I really like this effect simple as it is.

We have spent a lot of today learning about the dreadful earthquake that has hit this part of Asia today.
Here in Singapore everything is fine, though we got back from a holiday in Phuket (which was badly affected) just a couple of days ago,
so we feel very grateful to be safe at home right now.
My thoughts go out to those who are caught in the devastation,
this picture below is one I took earlier this week in Phuket - I'm sure this place looks very different right now......

I got a shock when I loaded your page to see Phuket featured, and then realised that if you had posted this the you were one of the lucky ones. Really nasty chain of events.

I do like this Terry - I wanted to do something similar myself, but couldn't get the effect right. This has given me some thoughts though!

both today's are beautiful photos, terry.
very sobering to hear about the devastation caused by the tsunamis - we've been
listening to the news bulletins all day, feeling horror as the numbers of
dead have kept rising and rising. so glad to hear that you are safe.

Very nice shot. I'm so glad you're home safe.
