Memorial Lights And Blue Snowflakes
These Christmas lights are set up around the War Memorial.
Down in the Glebe, meanwhile, Bank Street had blue and white balls in the trees, with snowflake shapes flashing on and off within, giving the illusion of movement.
Blue is such a pretty color this time of year. I remember an art teacher telling me that blue is a colder color than black! Add blue to a snowman and "brrrr" he looks cold! Great job of photographing the scene.
gorgeous lights, William. you get to share the greatest areas ... thanks for sharing. we didn't get out to see Christmas lights this year. i appreciate it so. so cool!! ( :
@Norma: more lights to come, once I get a look at them!
@Lowell: the crews who set these up do great work!
@Linda: thank you!
@Beth: oddly more of my Christmas lights photography was done later! I did quite a bit of it on Christmas Eve and will be posting some of them to come.
@Red: I think this was the first year I've seen these balls.
Wow, those lights are beautiful! Would love to see snowflake lights flashing in person. I hope you had great holiday weekend. Have a wonderful new week ahead!
Looks very pretty. Is it done and paid for by the city or is it done buy some people with money? Here we have some shop owners who pay, - and some who don't...
@Gunn: in this case the federal government puts up the funding for the ones around the downtown core. The decor in the Glebe is from the local neighbourhood business association.
Nice job on photographing the lights, William. They look marvelous.

These are beautiful! I normally prefer multicolored lights and ornaments, but the blue really works here.
ReplyDeleteYou Ottowans do know how to decorate your trees!
ReplyDeleteI love this series, William! :)
