Nicely captured scene, Jerry. I wonder how long it took to put all this together. Your lighting is wonderful.---deb

Thanks, Mike and jp.
Yes, Mike... I think most people will take at least one night over Christmas to do thls - even if it's just taking a detour on the way to or back from somewhere (which was the case with us last night).
I love lighted windows at night, jp, and, like you, wonder about whether the occupants are happy or sad, and what they might be doing. I guess we're all a wee bit voyeuristic in nature - even though we hate to admit it. Were we not so, these fake TV "reality" shows wouldn't be as wildly popular.

When I was young, it was such a tradition to drive around to look at all the lights at Christmas...and this is such a classy display from your neck of the woods. Nicely captured and well-exposed, Jerry...very nice photo! MFC

Neat shot of comfort & coziness, Jerry.
(Meanwhile, what's really going on behind all those cheery windows?)
