Aside from one shot in tomorrow's post, this ends my series on Christmas for the year, with views of Christmas lights from around Confederation Park, the National Arts Centre, the War Memorial, Parliament Hill, and the Chateau Laurier. I took these shots within a half hour on the weekend.
beautiful eagle monument! love when the trees sparkle. :)
ReplyDeleteLet's wait until next year, we dismiss the Christmas decorations with sadness, but its beauties are not forgotten.

One of the things I most look forward to at Christmastime: the lights!
ReplyDeleteVery lovely at night this time of year.
ReplyDeleteQuite the statue in that first picture!
ReplyDeleteSo many lights, so many colors...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Christmas lights.
ReplyDeleteHey, I like the photos taken later. There's much more contrast. You certainly had many opportunities for photos with so many lights.
ReplyDeleteYou have there wonderful Christmas lights, beautiful.
ReplyDelete@Tex: that's the aboriginal veterans memorial... quite an impressive monument, I've always thought.
ReplyDelete@Tomas: indeed.
@Marianne: thanks!
@Karl: thank you!
@Janis: and now, just a few days later, we have some proper snow to go with them!
@Norma: me too.
@EG: it certainly is.
@Furry Gnome: I've always liked that monument.
@VP: there are a lot. The federal government is behind these lights, and the people who put them up really do a great job.
@Nancy: I agree!
@Red: I did, yes.
I do love it when cities are all lit up for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteNice night shots, William! :)

I think I'd prefer white lights in trees.

ReplyDeleteWow, such gorgeous lights! You captured them so beautifully :-)
ReplyDeleteLights like this can be sheer magic. It certainly can help brighten a long winter's night.
ReplyDeletePlenty of Christmas lights, but the one I like best is the last, in which the light is more intrinsic lighting, not seasonal lighting.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Nicely photographed too.
ReplyDeleteLovely! I need to get to Ottawa!
ReplyDeleteThese are stunning! I have to figure out how to do night shots...
